Through mandates and investment facilities including Balim Investments, the Refugee Investment Facility (RIF), and the Impact-Linked Finance Fund (ILFF), iGravity supports SMEs and entrepreneurs, particularly across emerging markets, through tailored financing approaches designed to strengthen business growth, resilience, and long-term impact. Across several of these mandates, gender inclusion remains an important investment lens, with dedicated efforts to support women entrepreneurs and enterprises creating positive outcomes for women and underserved communities.
iGravity aligns the funding and initiatives with broader societal impact by anchoring every mandate and investment decision in clearly defined impact themes and translating those themes into measurable outcomes and metrics. This approach helps mobilize capital toward inclusive entrepreneurship and sustainable growth in emerging economies, while strengthening accountability and transparency around the real-world results achieved.
iGravity implements a “2X Challenge criteria” into the investment decisions: this makes gender a shared business question rather than a “women’s topic”; concretely, when screening deals against 2X criteria (women in leadership, workforce composition, products/services benefiting women), the investment team engages directly with founders to understand how these factors contribute to stronger, more inclusive, and resilient businesses.
