We seek to challenge discrimination and democratize the distribution of services to poor communities by delivering innovative, market-based solutions that foster economic development.

We do this by providing long-term equity capital to high-growth companies, which deliver "high volume and low cost" financial and other life-changing services that result in both social and economic returns and create open access for everyone.

We back entrepreneurs who understand that focusing on customer needs, innovation, growth, and profitability combine to create opportunity and prosperity in local communities.

This is because we believe individual customers and their communities, entrepreneurs, staff and investors need to jointly build fundamental social and economic value in the market defined by the poor.
