At the core of each of our investments is a singular Purpose
We back technology and innovative business models that improve conditions.
We build businesses that drive progress by enabling things people in much of the world take for granted; financial control visibility of transactions and the ability to plan for a better future. Given the populations we are impacting, their income growth rates and our ability to leverage global technologies, it happens to be a very strong investment strategy.
