A world in which social and environmental sustainability becomes a true business engine
Build inclusive prosperity in Latin America by:
Accelerating growth of purpose-driven entrepreneurs.
Advocating for social innovation in traditional small businesses that are growing.
We lead the transformation of growing small businesses and endeavor to make social entrepreneurs gain visibility.
Data and Technology
We foster and facilitate access to technologies that enable data sharing and that create associations in a decentralized, safe and transparent manner, among growing companies, and business and financing partners.
Capacity Building
We build capabilities for growing businesses, focused on organizational, financial, operational, and management efficiency and effectiveness. We support the implementation of social and environmental innovations in their models.
Market Outreach
We help growing businesses tap into new markets, through our private-sector partners (such as retailers, ecommerce sites and marketplaces), seeking to support their international and local expansion.
Access to Financing
In collaboration with financing actors, fintechs, investors, non-banking institutions, microfinance companies and banks, we strive to secure friendly financing for growing small businesses.
Impact Scaling-up
Impact is at the core of everything we do. We serve impact entrepreneurs and traditional small businesses that are growing to help them embrace social and environmental innovation in their business models.
Best-in-class Program Offering
We embrace ongoing improvement in the execution of our programs to influence the business success of our community in a verifiable manner.
Collaborative Action
We partner with private-sector business support organizations and with other ecosystem's players, as we recognize that no single company has created the challenges that we face today and that no single company can work them out on its own either. We drive collaboration all across Latin America, for Latin America.
Regional Expansion
We get involved in the regional expansion of the Latin American entrepreneurship ecosystem by means of associations that combine the local context with regional networks and methodologies.
