As we mark our 10-year anniversary, we are deeply grateful to our partners and proud of what we’ve achieved together: mobilizing capital to unlock opportunity, drive growth, and build resilience among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), creating an estimated 455,000 jobs in underserved communities across 68 countries.
From the beginning, our mission has been to prove that private capital — when aligned with purpose — can deliver measurable social outcomes alongside sustainable financial returns.
SMEs are the economic backbone of their communities. When women-led businesses gain access to fair financing, they generate jobs, strengthen local economies, and create more inclusive futures.
“Impact doesn’t happen by accident — it takes deliberate choices, patient capital, and partners who believe that investing in people is the most powerful way to drive change. Over the past decade, we’ve seen how unlocking opportunity for small businesses transforms entire communities.” — Hendrik van Deventer, CEO
We’re proud to share highlights from our 2025 Annual Impact Report, demonstrating how we’ve put capital to work and made a difference in millions of lives over the past decade. Thank you to the investors, entrepreneurs, and partners who share our belief that capital can — and should — be a force for good.
We’re now actively welcoming new partners for the next chapter of our growth. If you’re exploring catalytic ways to align your capital with deep, measurable impact, we’d love to start a conversation.
