ACUMEN FUND

Acumen was founded by Jacqueline Novogratz in 2001 to use power of entrepreneurship to build a world where everyone had the opportunity to live with dignity. Our goal was to invest "Patient Capital" to bridge the gap between the efficiency and scale of market-based approaches and the social impact of pure philanthropy... We created Acumen Capital Partners to structure and manage funds that fill a critical gap that exists for social enterprises. An evolution of Acumen's investment model, ACP supports established, high-potential companies to catalyze scalable solutions that deliver social and financial returns... Acumen Academy serves a community of social innovators and builders who are willing to embrace the challenge of solving the world's toughest problems and provides the practical tools, practices and resources needed to create new solutions for an interdependent world.
