Inclusion
THE RIGHT TYPE OF CAPITAL
We offer the right type of capital through flexible hybrid debt instruments, primarily revenue-based loans. Our loans are unsecured and non-dilutive, meaning entrepreneurs don’t have to give up equity or provide assets as collateral. This allows them to access capital that aligns with the pace of their business growth.
THE MISSING MIDDLE
We address the capital access gap for early-stage SMEs and startups in Latin America, known as the “missing middle.” We focus on companies with annual revenues between $200,000 and $3 million: too large for traditional microfinance, yet still out of reach for institutional capital or fair banking terms.
