Early stage capital for businesses restoring refugee stability
Why Refugees?
There have never been more refugees on our planet than at this moment. Innovative solutions are needed to provide greater stability to 70 million displaced people. Access to and the ability to participate in the global marketplace is a powerful factor in regaining self-sufficiency.
Our Firm's Thesis
Refugees are both undervalued and overlooked. Businesses founded by refugees are materially more likely to succeed, refugee employees add tangible value to the companies they serve and, as a market, the refugee community is growing year over year. By investing with a refugee lens and leveraging this undervaluation, Amplio Ventures, backs enterprises that are founded by refugees, leverage the refugee workforce and/or focus on the global refugee community. These investments will yield investor returns while achieving measurable impact.
We believe:
Refugee entrepreneurs are worth backing;
The refugee workforce is worth leveraging; and
The global refugee community is a market worth serving.
