Our Investment thesis
Flexible Capital For Growing Companies
Hiring From the Refugee Workforce
There is a growing labor shortage in the US, yet refugees whom have been legally resettled in America are often overlooked as a potential solution. They are highly motivated and dependable employees when given the opportunity to contribute to their local economy.
Some businesses have recognized this secret and are seeing turnover grow, while others still are wondering if the refugee workforce could be as good as advertised. We exist to advocate for the refugee workforce, helping businesses and local economies grow by leveraging these courageous forced migrants.
Amplio Ventures supports these businesses by providing flexible, growth centric capital in order to 1) promote hiring from the refugee workforce, breaking down the barriers that exist for employers, and 2) helping them grow and accomplish their goals.
Flexible Capital
These days, it can be difficult to access capital from commercial lenders. Raising a round of investment can be a full time job. We've been there and want to provide founder-friendly funding that propels growth.
Growing Companies
We love partnering with businesses that are post-revenue and building traction in their industry. These companies have a solid team and need access to capital along with dependable talent to maintain steady growth.
Refugee Workforce
After years of experience we have seen the massive impact hiring and retaining the refugee workforce can have on a company, the refugee community and the local economy.
Industrial Companies
Many of the companies we partner with are industrial companies providing meaningful jobs for refugees in manufacturing, packaging and logistics.
Service Companies
We enjoy partnering with service companies that are providing meaningful employment for refugees in food & beverage, retail and hospitality.
