Beyond Capital

What they do

Beyond Capital Fund is an evergreen impact investment fund that invests in for-profit, early-stage companies in East Africa and India. The fund invests in companies that aim to improve access to health care, sanitation, clean energy, agriculture and food security, and financial inclusion, all of which can help consumers at the bottom of the economic pyramid live better lives. Despite the fact that the fund seeks market-rate financial returns, Beyond Capital is structured as a nonprofit, allowing the organization to emphasize fidelity to its social mission alongside its financial mandate. Beyond Capital, headquartered in New York, was established in 2009.

What they look for
