Testimonials

‘The specialist nature of the Insaan team really appeals to me. It’s like choosing to bank with a boutique Swiss bank, knowing you’ll deal with the chief executive and board rather than an investment manager. Small means specialist, expert, adaptable, and efficient.’

Philanthropist

‘I have been struck by the commitment with which Insaan strives to qualitatively evaluate the impact of its investments. There are much larger and better resourced organisations I have worked with that do not have the enthusiasm or knowledge to do this.’

Donor

‘When we say ‘lived experience’ at Insaan we mean lived experience, not a week-long field trip. Living and working alongside the communities we support gives us a unique insight into how people can solve their own problems, for the long-term. We have stood side-by-side with villagers, examining their hand pumps and figuring out how to fix them. Most organisations don’t get anywhere close to that level of granular detail.’

Insaan Board Director

‘Insaan is a partner as much as an investor. Insaan gets how hard it is to build meaningful businesses in difficult environments and offers a thoughtful perspective in our Board calls and other conversations. Insaan has formed partnerships with photographers, universities and analysts to help bring value to companies. We look forward to continue to grow our business with Insaan.’
