About Us

We are a mission-driven, award-winning, investment and advisory firm implementing a blend of public, private, and philanthropic investment in high-risk environments. We specialize in developing value-added supply chains and social impact ventures that build peace and gender inclusion while enacting climate action. We provide advisory services to unlock economic opportunities to underserved markets through continued formal route to market facilitation and implementation of international responsible sourcing standards in the ASGM and cocoa sectors.

Our 3 Pillars 

1. Women’s Economic Empowerment

We are spearheading equitable and inclusive economic development through entrepreneurship by investing into women and providing tools and training. We develop new opportunities for women and enhance their skills to participate in value addition, while receiving a living wage that can support them and their families.

2. Climate Action

We support value addition at origin because it means we can drastically reduce our carbon footprint by cutting out the movement of raw materials across the globe to get a finished product. In the artisanal mining sector, we have implemented a complete elimination of all mercury, cyanide, chlorine gas, nitric and hydrochloric acids from the supply chains to prevent degradation of the natural ecosystem of mine sites.

3. Building Peace & Resilience

Some of the communities we work with have dealt with more conflict and instability than we can ever imagine. Inspired by their fortitude, we collaborate with them to find long term solutions that can help them sustain their livelihoods to protect peace and resilience within the communities. Having access to avenues of stability and peace are particularly important for the endurance of these communities.
