2. Drayton explained that the social investment
connection is among the new financial tools.
He revealed to Scott London that when you
tear down the wall between society and
business, rather than having a social system
and a business system that do not
communicate to one another, you use the
assets of each. He said that the sector of
citizen has lower costs nearer to the
customers.

3. The sector of business has some efficiencies
and better access to capital. When you mix
those together, the result is a more powerful
hybrid social-business value-added sequence.
In each hybrid value sequence that Ashoka
has done so far, the citizen sector receives a
big flow of cash.

4. When Scott London asked Bill Drayton to give
an example of a hybrid value chain, the CEO
gave the case of India. The country does not
build houses workers from informal sector.
This means that there are nearly twenty-five
million missing accommodation units. At real
estate, the sector of citizen is no good but they
have profound knowledge of societies and are
low-cost.

The builders know real estate but cannot deal
with a seller of vegetables who lacks a pay stub.
When you bring these two sides together, the
sector of citizen vends, makes loaning
decisions, governs technical assistance, and
handles group, while the builder constructs,
the financial sector funds, and the houses are
built.
