Village Capital is a venture capital firm that finds, trains, and invests in early-stage ventures solving major global problems in agriculture, education, energy, financial inclusion, and health. Operating since 2009, Village Capital is interested in systems-level change to make impact investing more inclusive and empower a wider range of entrepreneurs. They use a peer-selected investment process to combat implicit bias and “pattern recognition” that is stacked against women and people of colour.
