Investment Criteria

Eligible projects for the FIS 2.0 Fund are those that address social challenges at the base of the socio-economic pyramid through improvement of goods and services that generate a positive impact on the ability of at risk citizens to accumulate wealth, increase their income, and improve their quality of life.

These companies and social institutions may vary from non-profit organizations seeking to effectively scale their operations and achieve financial sustainability, to for-profit entities whose main focus is to generate social impact via goods and services.

Organizations meeting all the necessary requirements 1 through 8 would be eligible for investments of US$500k or more.

If a company or social institution meets all the necessary requirements, but does not have audited financial statements, or requires improving its social and / or legal management, it would be eligible for pre-investment, a period in which it must meet additional requirements to access the investment stage.
