Since inceptionGP has deployed $356.5 million in impact investments to 135 partners, bringing meaningful impact to over 14.7 million lives in 21 countries.What is Impact-First Investing?Impact-first investing means investing in a way that seeks the highest possible social impact, while seeking to preserve capital with a modest financial return for investors.Impact-first investing is distinctly different from return-first investing, which seeks the highest possible financial return (often without consideration of social or environmental consequences), and from philanthropy, which seeks the highest social impact without any preservation of capital.We believe that impact-first investing has an essential role to play in advancing sustainable solutions to poverty for millions of people worldwide.What Does Impact Mean to Global Partnerships?All of our impact-first investing is aimed at empowering poor and marginalized people to earn a living, provide the basic necessities of life for their families, and improve their lives. We seek social impact on four dimensions:Broadening Opportunity – We have a holistic understanding of poverty, so we invest across all facets of poverty: livelihoods, education, energy, health, housing, sanitation, and water.Deepening Inclusion – We invest at the edge of the market, emphasizing approaches that include people marginalized by depth of poverty, gender, and/or geography, including women and the rural poor.Serving Millions – We believe that every person matters, and want to expand opportunity for as many people as possible. We therefore focus on sustainable approaches that can, over time, scale to serve millions of people living in poverty.Improving Lives – We only invest where evidence convinces us that people living in poverty value the opportunity being delivered and are empowered by it – economically or otherwise – to improve their lives. ## Blue Rinc Capital - Type: VC Fund - Relevant deals: 2 - Stages: Seed - Focus: PaaS, Energy, Renewable Energy Blue Rinc Capital is an investment holding company focused on growth investments. ## Sissili Limited - Type: VC Fund - Relevant deals: 2 - Stages: Seed - Focus: PaaS, Energy, Renewable Energy Private Investment Company ## Lion’s Head Global Partners - Type: VC Fund - Location: London, England, United Kingdom - Relevant deals: 2 - Stages: Debt Financing - Focus: Renewable Energy, Solar, Energy A global investment banking, asset management and advisory firm focused on delivering value to our clients in emerging and frontier markets ## Opes Impact Fund - Type: VC Fund - Location: Milano, Lombardia, Italy - Relevant deals: 2 - Stages: Seed, Series A - Focus: Communities, Agriculture, Energy Opes-Lcef is an impact investor that provides catalytic capital to early-stage social enterprises in emerging markets. ## Novastar Ventures - Type: VC Fund - Location: Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya - Relevant deals: 2 - Stages: Series A, Series B - Focus: Agriculture, Health Care, Internet For the many, not just the few.
