Refugees are both undervalued and overlooked by venture capital investors. 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 services the global refugee community as a market segment.
We believe:
Refugee entrepreneurs are worth backing;
The refugee workforce is worth leveraging; and
The global refugee community is a market worth serving.
"In Uganda, 21% of refugees run a business that creates jobs, and, of their employees, 40% are citizens of the host country."
"In the United States alone, refugees, immigrants, and their children have founded 40% of Fortune 500 companies.”
"In the United States, 51% of start-ups valued at over $1 billion are founded by refugees and immigrants."
"Diverse executive teams produce return multiples 64% higher for their investors than their non-diverse counterparts." -
“In Turkey, there are over 10,000 Syrian refugee-owned businesses who have, since 2011, invested $344 million in local economies.”
