How is InVenture different?
InVenture is pioneering a standardized credit scoring system for unbanked individuals to qualify for financing -- something more than 2.7 billion individuals lack. Currently, there is no other organization in the market providing financial literacy, accounting and credit scoring through a text-messaging platform. The data captured by InSight will help us understand how bottom-of-the-pyramid (BoP) individuals, households, businesses manage money. Analyzing this data, InVenture provides the education, financial metrics and partnerships to revolutionize the low-income financial service industry. InSight is compatible with all types of mobile phones.

About InVenture
InVenture believes that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have the potential to create lasting economic development in under-served communities, and that the best way to unleash this potential is through micro-INVESTING, not micro-loans. While micro-credit has helped to alleviate the struggle of subsistence living for many people in developing communities — this form of financing has not been successful in expanding businesses beyond sole proprietorships.
