Elevar Equity pioneered the commercial approach to impact investing, backing seasoned entrepreneurs building large-scale, enduring businesses focused on Entrepreneurial Households and the #EPICopportunity. Elevar was early in identifying the entrepreneurial trends within these households, and has consistently invested in this thesis since 2006 starting with microfinance and quickly expanding to affordable housing, healthcare, education, agriculture, and small businesses (MSMEs). With two decades of ground-up field insights and the scale journeys of ~50 companies, the #ElevarMethod of investing has delivered high-priority services to over 55 million Entrepreneurial Households across India and Latin America. #EquityforEquity #HumanCenteredCapital

We are a comprehensive global platform that aligns customer insights and capital strategies around an increasingly critical economic segment called Entrepreneurial Households. We’re building 50+ blue chip companies dedicated to meeting the needs and aspirations of Entrepreneurial Households. In 2024, Entrepreneurial Households contributed over $10 trillion in transaction volume in India alone, with potential to grow tenfold over the next 20 years. Yet, despite their economic resilience, innovativeness, and generation of multiple sources of income, they don’t have access to a formalized ecosystem of goods and services to support their continued growth. If you’re as passionate about this change as we are, join us and let’s get to work.
