Haiti Ventures is a social seed Investment firm birthed from the tragic earthquake in Haiti on January 12th 2010. Haiti Ventures represents a new breed of investment firms that address economical problems via uncommon private micro-investment provided by the mass population. We partner with insightful middle market entrepreneurs, which are neither served by micro-financing nor other financial initiatives, in order to create profitable and lasting business ventures in Haiti while addressing global challenges that governments and corporate conglomerates fail to reach.
Our Perspective:
In top market sector we commonly find monopolies. Monopolies have upstream effect on the economy.
Lower end market is catered to by micro financing. While micro financing is very important for the economy and middle class creation, it has downstream effect as it is felt only by the entrepreneur and immediate family members.
Middle market entrepreneurs have upstream impact on the economy. They often bring disruptive technology and methodology that can solve existing problems while creating new microfinance markets for lower end entrepreneurs.
Problem we address:
- Lack of middle market financingfor startups
- Lack of middle market resources
- Brain drain
