TRANSFORMATIVE VENTURE CAPITAL
Venture capital plays a crucial role in tackling significant inefficiencies in global markets, especially in emerging markets characterized by widespread internet usage, but limited access to essential services. Even though these markets are home to 85% of the world's population, they receive a mere 5.4% of venture capital funding.

Our goal is to reverse this trend and champion transformative venture capital, with the aim of enhancing the quality of life for millions of individuals in these markets.
