About us

Beyond Capital Fund is an evergreen impact investment fund that invests in for-profit, early-stage companies throughout East Africa and India. The fund invests in businesses that are focused on greater access to health care, sanitation, clean energy, agriculture & food security, and financial inclusion, which can increase the quality of life for consumers living at the bottom of the economic pyramid. Though the fund seeks market-rate financial returns, Beyond Capital is structured as a nonprofit, which permits the organization to emphasize fidelity to its social mission alongside its financial mandate. Since its founding in 2009, Beyond Capital has reached a growing 8 million people, including 5.8 million women, living in underserved communities.

    We are proud and grateful to share our Donor Report for our 2022/2023 fiscal year. At Beyond Capital Fund, our mission has always been rooted in the belief that access to essential goods and services is not just a matter of convenience but a fundamental right that holds the key to unlocking human potential. Throughout India and East Africa, we have dedicated ourselves to nurturing mission-driven companies that share this belief, investing in enterprises that channel their efforts towards improving the quality of life for low-income consumers. Some highlights from the report: 👏 We marked a tremendous milestone in November 2022: the final close of our for-profit sister organization, Beyond Capital Ventures. ✅ We also marked an exit from East Africa Fruits and reaffirmed our investments, including via another investment in Haqdarshak to support the company in their $1M Pre-series A round. We also welcomed to our portfolio Ampersand E-Mobility, which capitalizes on growing support for e-mobility in Africa through producing and managing electric motorbikes and a battery-swapping infrastructure network in Rwanda and Kenya.   📚 BCV’s inaugural Founder Summer School kicked off in 2023, hosting our portfolio company founders for a curated lineup of exceptional speakers, all of whom shared their insights and experiences into the entrepreneurial journey. There's so much more to celebrate and share. Download our Donor Report and learn more at the link in the comments. Our work and our impact is facilitated by our powerful network of Beyond Capital Ambassadors. And now you can join this growing movement at a 10% discount before 12/31. #emergingmarkets #impactinvesting #purposedriven

    I'm thrilled to share some incredible news from Numida (YC W22)! We've now supported more than 50,000 micro and small businesses in Uganda with working capital. Our clients are business owners who are hustling everyday to serve their communities, and create wealth and prosperity for their families. Although, they are driving the African economy they remain largely unserved by the traditional financial services sector. Our mission at Numida has always been to drive economic prosperity by providing access to the much-needed capital and resources that businesses owners need in order to achieve their dreams. This milestone is a testament to the hard work, commitment, and resilient optimism that our team across East Africa displays everyday as we serve our clients. A heartfelt thank you to all our clients who have trusted Numida, and to the many supporters, and investors who have joined us on this remarkable journey. We couldn't be doing this work without your belief in African entrepreneurship and we look forward to continued partnership as we work towards our mission of serving 1 million businesses by 2030!
