Invest with impact
Creating a more inclusive economy, one investment at a time
We invest in companies that uplift communities
“Do well by doing good”: this is the founding principle that shapes Goodwell’s entire investment philosophy. Our funds support entrepreneurs delivering essential goods and services to un(der)served populations and building an inclusive economy in their communities, countries, and continent. We maximise the social and financial impact of every investment we make by focussing on innovative, fast-growing, local companies.
