Finding Purpose with 100 million women
We are an impact investor in the global south. Our deep roots in microfinance and education finance have demonstrated profit with purpose. We focus on self-development and skilling technology for women to find meaningful work.
Over two decades, we have played the role of an impact bridge enabling convergence of high social impact with strong financial returns. We have helped build replicable business models that are scalable to other markets.
Founded by serial entrepreneur Bob Pattillo, our approach to achieving our mission is to invest in early-stage entrepreneurs & portfolio of funds, seed new ventures to fill market gaps, pioneer alternate financing approaches and collaborate with partners.
Through investments in 78+ enterprises, we have found purpose with 21 million low-resourced women and girls in the areas of learning, skilling, economic participation and well-being.
