Inclusive Fintech

Are you a startup looking for investment?

Accion Venture Lab focuses on for-profit enterprises with new products or business models that expand the range of high-quality financial services for underserved populations. Companies need not have significant revenue traction but should be post-research and development, have a full-time entrepreneur or team in place, and, ideally, have a pilot or prototype in the market. We are focused on opportunities in Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and the U.S., but will invest globally if the team and idea are right.
