Investment Advisory
What does your Frontier Market investing strategy look like? What causes are you already charitable towards?
Our team can guide you to develop an intentional approach to consider alternative investments to help you fulfill the impact God has called you to make in the world.
Our typical clients include investment funds, single and multi-family offices, investor networks, and individual investors looking for guidance in Frontier Markets.
Working under the guidance of your registered investment advisor, we add our global network and insight to your strategy to assess how you can use investment capital and charitable capital together for God's Kingdom.

OUR APPROACH
to serving early-mid stage companies
We focus on 10 key areas we believe correlate with success for Frontier Market Companies.
-
Relationships: Businesses are built based on genuine relationships built on trust. Trust is built over time through serving, listening, and demonstrating reliability and results.
-
Team: We believe entrepreneurs are most successful when they have co-founders who carry the burden of the business with them.
-
Validated Problem (pain): Ideation starts with a hypothesis about a problem and pain that customers are living with. Sustainable businesses solve real problems.
-
Customer Development: Problems and pain must be validated by real customers. We want to see 20 customer interviews that validate the pain.
-
MVP Feedback: Getting feedback on a potential solution to the problem with minimal cost and effort invested is critical to not waste time and build the product or service your customers want to buy.
-
Revenue Stream: How can you sustainably build your product or service and make money while doing it? How can you demonstrate early revenue as proof of providing real value?
-
Funding & Sustainability: Beyond startup capital, what is your business's path to being self-sustaining and profitable (including being debt-free)?
-
Cultural Relevance: Understanding and honoring the culture we’re entering is key to discovering and creating relevant value for the people.
-
Job Creation: What jobs are you creating and how can your business help develop skills in the workforce that are needed for those jobs?
-
Honoring God: How is every part of your business, values, and behaviors honoring God and aligning to the timeless business principles found in His Scripture?
