Our Mission Rationale Who we are Team

"We must eradicate poverty in our generation."
(Muhammad Yunus)

GEXSI links charitable donors, entrepreneurs and investors in funding social businesses in low-income regions around the world. We support social entrepreneurs in moving "from Aid to Market": from charity dependence towards sustainable business. GEXSI provides social enterprises with coaching and development investment services. Donors can directly finance aid-to-market projects through the GEXSI Bottom of the Pyramid Fund.

To Social Entrepreneurs we offer:

• Business planning support
• Information and expertise
• Networking & mentorship
• Links to social investment exchanges and other searches for financiers

To Social Investment Exchanges, Investment Funds and Business Plan Competitions we offer:

• Listings of social enterprises in accordance with their business development stage: ranging from charitable or below-market to full-fledged early stage commercial ventures.
• GEXSIs philanthropic Bottom-of-the-Pyramid (BoP) rotating Fund, which can leverage donations by successively re-investing repayment funds in further start-up aid-to-market projects.

To all Social Investors we offer:

• Feedback, reporting and impact evaluations on investments
