SCI Ventures is a VC fund in Columbia focused on Apps and Finance. SCI deploys a significant portion of our resources to fund and assist talented minority and women entrepreneurs in emerging domestic markets. These emerging markets have been historically under served by private equity funding sources, despite their strong potential to convert untapped innovation into solid returns. We believe our investments inthese areas have given our firm a competitive advantage in a growing business sector that continues to create opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs alike. We especially seek to deploy capital to leverage potential opportunities in fragmented, changing industries.
