Upaya Social Ventures
We invest in the often overlooked “missing middle companies” that create jobs in marginalized communities. Our focus is enabling companies to grow to create at least 1000 jobs for the extreme poor, the population too poor for microfinance. In addition to our direct impact, we foster an ecosystem to support these companies that can be the backbones of their communities.
