Acumen LatAm Impact Ventures

Acumen Latam Impact Ventures – ALIVE Ventures – is a new type of Latin American fund manager. A fund manager that places impact at centerstage, measuring impact using a data driven approach to not only count lives but more importantly to understand how lives are being impacted. A fund manager that incorporates gender lens investing every step of the way, from origination to post-investment management. A fund manager that seeks to build a vibrant community of like-minded investors that truly care about impact and learning. A fund manager that seeks to grow the impact investing space in Latin America by collaborating and sharing knowledge broadly. And finally, but equally important, a fund manager that seeks to provide attractive risk adjusted returns to its investors.
