What if…
We could fast-track doing good globally through more innovative finance and better impact measurement?
Insaan means human.
We invest in early-stage ventures that deliver a service or product relevant to the under-served markets and market segments, and create employment at scale. We focus on sub-Saharan Africa and India.
We raise philanthropic capital, catalytic capital, to make these investments and build a virtuous model where returns are re-invested to amplify impact through time - and to make our own entity resilient. We also work with impact investors as co-investors and follow-on investors.
What if your philanthropic and impact capital had…
The power of insights and lived on-the-ground experience to back local solutions to poverty?
We build on our field experience, our expertise from venture capital to data science, the passion of our entrepreneurial ventures, and the perspective of local people to inform capital allocations and track impact performance.
What would it mean for the world…
If we could increase the flow of capital towards innovative solutions to improve millions of lives of the world’s poorest?
Insaan’s work is part of a global narrative to align prosperity, planet, and people.
We are a small part of a greater ecosystem centered around the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
Through Impact Footprint, we are disrupting the ecosystem by openly showcasing the innovative work of impact entrepreneurs changing livelihoods and lives at scale to accelerate the flow of capital to local solutions.
We have pre-launched ‘Growing the Pie’ to enable our proprietary network of partners to access debt financing to scale their innovations and multiply the impact of catalytic capital for all stakeholders.
Our work is driven by a relentless focus on end-users - the forgotten billions at the bottom of the human pyramid.
We are translating human connectedness and empathy into thoughtful systemic change.
