FUNDOS SMALL BUSINESSES, GREAT POTENTIAL IF IT DOESN'T EXIST, WE'LL CREATE IT A fund invests in small businesses in São Paulo's east zone because it believes in the transformational potential of these initiatives Vox Capital establishes itself as a investment fund for businesses with great potential for social impact and continues seeking incredible entrepreneurs with great ideas Created in 2010 with the objective of stimulating innovative busi- nesses that were relevant to the local community, the Fundo ZL Sustentável (Sustainable East Zone Fund) became incorporated in 2014: it is now an association, with the Tide Setubal Founda- tion and Alana Institute as its founders. Since its creation, 710,000 reais ($240,000 dollars) have been invested in 27 businesses in various fields. Their work bets on good ideas that need a little push in order to get started or that need to reach a level that allows it to move along without help. The managers of the Tide Setubal Fund saw this situation up close during a study conducted in São Paulo's east side: at the time, they found many great ideas, lots of drive, and lots of obstacles too. From there the fund was born, and it picks who it wants to support through an open call. The businesses must be socially inclusive and sustainable, and they receive technical support and a financial investment of up to 25,000 reais ($8,000 dollars). In addition, the Fundo ZL works to broaden the reach of each business, building bridges and bringing together the com- munity agents.
