    Acumen's Approach to Investing

    Patient Capital:
    Makes investments in early-stage innovators and intrepid entrepreneurs who are tackling the issues of poverty. The organization follows an approach where they invest charitable, or "patient," capital rather than traditional financing. This approach provides entrepreneurs with the flexibility and security they need to expand their operations and serve as many low-income clients as they can.

    Early-Stage Investment:
    Provides seed and early-stage capital to help social companies test their hypotheses, launch their goods and services, and scale.

    Access to Expertise:
    Gives their clients' businesses access to their knowledge and networks of consultants with extensive sector, channel, and client experience.

    Post-Investment Approach:
    Actively provides post-investment support and guidance in the areas of strategy, governance, consumer insights, and financing to aid in the growth and scaling of the firms they invest in.
