Our Shared Values
Compassion
We are driven to help solve the financial problems that people face everyday. We try to get proximate to the challenges we wish to solve, and approach our work with empathy, warmth, and optimism.
Humility
We seek impact on a global scale and recognize that we cannot achieve our mission alone. We learn the most from our entrepreneurs and their customers.
Integrity
We strive to be honest, accountable, consistent and authentic in every interaction. We hold true to these principles in the face of adversity, and we expect the same of our partners and entrepreneurs.
Pioneering Spirit
We recognize that the problems we seek to address are complex and systemic, and require creative and non-conventional solutions. We push ourselves to back the most radical ideas from entrepreneurs, thought leaders, policymakers, and influencers in the pursuit of a better future.
Funding & Governance
Our vision is informed by the experiences of our funder, Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay.
