Volans helps a wide range of organizations are developing entrepreneurial solutions to financial, social and environmental challenges.

Our Trailblazers are for-profit and not-for-profit organizations that are developing solutions for environmental, social and governance challenges. In many cases, we on boards and advisory boards.

The organizations supported run the A-to-Z gamut, from Aflatoun (which aims to make poor children financially empowered) through to zouk ventures (a venture capital firm that invests in clean technology). Please note that although we are represented on boards or advisory boards in most of these organizations and initiatives, we also help entrepreneurs, enterprises and initiatives where this is not the case.
