Values

We seek to challenge discrimination and democratize the distribution of services to poor communities by opening access for everyone to life-changing services.

Recognizing the Value in People - All people have intrinsic economic and social value. We invest in products and services that unlock this value by enabling poor people to create opportunities for themselves and their communities.

Backing Entrepreneurs - Entrepreneurs catalyze dynamic solutions that large institutions are late to see and often miss entirely. We invest in entrepreneurs who understand that innovation, growth, scalability and profitability combine to create opportunity and prosperity for their communities.

Connecting People and Communities - We see a fundamental value in the connections formed between poor clients, communities and entrepreneurs. We bridge between these local relationships and global networks through shared goals and incentives.

Investing for the Long Term - Long-term investing fosters holistic management that puts clients first. We direct our focus towards serving clients and building strong communities, and therefore, do not seek short-term gains.

Fostering Innovation - Innovation is the key to bringing essential products and services to the base of the pyramid. We recognize that creativity and passion are needed to push the edge of the envelope and bring unique, value-added solutions to the poor and underserved.
