The Co. aims to deliver the highest possible impact on four dimensions:

• Broader opportunity – support sustainable solutions across all facets of livelihoods, education, energy, health, housing, water, and sanitation.
• Deeper inclusion – prioritize investments where opportunity is expanded to include marginalized people and the rural poor.
• Serving millions – invest in sustainable, and therefore scalable solutions, that positively impact the lives of millions of people.
• Improving lives – focus investments on solutions that empower people to earn a living and provide for the basic necessities of life.

What We Look For

We invest in strong and capable founding teams with experience in the geography/ industry and a long-term commitment to achieving clear, compelling and direct impact for households living in poverty. We also look at unique value proposition, scalability, traction and funding plan.

We are sector agnostic and open to all geography.
