We invest in founders who are reshaping outdated industries. We believe in a world where top tier fintech products help the 99% grow their wealth and build businesses. Where everyday people have transparent, efficient, and attentive healthcare experiences. Where managers and front-line employees in legacy industries have tools that save time, increase transparency, and take minutes to learn (vertical SaaS).

The Women on Boards Project (WOBP) was created in 2020 by consumer industry leaders to increase the number of women serving on consumer company boards while also expanding diversity including race, ethnicity, age, socio-economic status, and sexual orientation, gender fluidity. The Project is inspiring a game-changing movement to provide women access to seats at the board table while working in partnership with a consortium of industry leaders in venture capital and private equity to diversify their respective boards portfolios.

We provide opportunity to children affected by extreme poverty in rural Benin. We work with local care providers to provide basic housing, food, and restore social stability, access to education, and healthcare. Beneficiaries include orphans, victims of child trafficking, physical and sexual abuse, and destitute poverty, as identified by local authorities. Our vision is to empower local care providers to provide support for the well-being of children in difficult situations, and foster an environment to allow them to develop into healthy, educated, and productive members of society. Our services are designed and delivered by local care providers to ensure that they are appropriate for the community and sustainable in the long term. We routinely partner with local institutions to lead campaigns targeted to address the root causes of difficult issues facing the community.
