INSAAN MEANS HUMAN
Insaan is a boutique impact investment entity that allocates philanthropic capital to tackle poverty.
Our mission is to engage in catalytic philanthropy that changes the lives of many, for better, for good.
We do this by investing in early stage ventures that create employment and/or deliver a product or service relevant to the poor.
Insaan works with philanthropists who want their giving to be more impactful.
We re-invest all revenues from our investments in new ventures.
HOW WE WORK
We connect those who want a better world with those in need and measure
that lives are indeed being changed, for the better, and for good.
Partner
Insaan was founded with support from the Pierre and Pamela Omidyar Fund. We work with families, individuals, corporate and institutional donors.
Select
We work through our networks to find ventures involved in education, health and supply chain. We get to know the organizations and people within them.
Measure
We meet the end-users or beneficiaries in the field. We engage them, listen, ask questions, and try to understand their vision of a better life – in their own words.
Grow
We disburse funds through equity or grant and continue to work closely with ventures over the life of the funding. We help ventures grow so they can better serve the poor.
WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT?
Our work derives from our values, and not the reverse.
Insaan is an intellectual and ethical engagement that represents our team’s long-standing dedication to changing the lives of the poor.
Field Experience
We have years of experience in the field, working with the poor and living among them in cities and villages across the developing world.
Diverse Perspectives
We apply our diverse personal and academic backgrounds, from economics to philosophy, human development to statistics to approach the problems of poverty with critical thinking and ingenuity.
Cost-Effectiveness
From our virtual office to our commitment to attracting outstanding and committed professionals to build knowledge, we strive to be a model of cost-effectiveness.
People-Centered Systems
We are open to market solutions and extra-market approaches because reality is complex for the poor. We don’t over-simplify solutions to poverty.
