Growth Markets will become some of the world’s largest economies in the coming decades. With firsthand experience living and working in these markets, we know the potential for transformation is often greatest in historically underserved regions. 

Fintech and embedded finance, including applications across the Health, Climate, B2B AI, and Consumer sectors, are revolutionizing access and inclusion for the next billion people, creating the infrastructure for innovation to thrive.

Across the Middle East, Africa, and beyond, we partner with bold, mission-driven entrepreneurs transforming how people and businesses access financial services and harness them to solve complex challenges across other vital sectors.
