Our Investment Philosophy
Investing with Impact: Combining the Power of FinTech with Diversity & Sustainability for Better Outcomes
We believe that financial services is the “enablement layer” for the digital economy and majority of future value creation will come from serving the needs of everyday citizens and small/medium businesses at the intersection of finance and other verticals.
At the same time, individuals and businesses want to align their finances with their values and significant funding is required to fight climate change. This will require financial products and services of the future to embed sustainability principles.
Diverse founders continue to be underinvested in and represent an opportunity for outsized returns. They have strong roots in their communities, are purpose driven and can better understand and serve the needs of these segments.
Join us to build the next generation of FinTechs founded on the principles of
equity, inclusion and sustainability.
Our Approach
Hands on investors with practical knowledge of building finance businesses
We work with founders to validate product-market fit and develop an actionable strategy to accelerate user acquisition and revenue growth, while managing risk and regulatory requirements.
We bring deep industry networks so our portfolio companies can leverage subject matter experts, get warm leads and build partnerships. We help portfolio companies identify relevant metrics to enable and measure impact.
We are experts in M&A, and help founders prepare for the next financing round, introduce new sources of capital and create exit opportunities.
