We invest in world-class entrepreneurs who are passionate about solving challenging, often intractable socio-economic problems through careful application of science, technology, and design or through creative business models. We believe in experimentation and encourage this approach among our entrepreneurs.

We evaluate a wide range of opportunities but are primarily focused on for-profit enterprises serving people at the bottom half of the world's economic pyramid: low-income laborers, farmers and families, as well as small businesses in emerging markets.
