Social Venture Fund
Acumen is one of the new breed of "social venture capital" firms, focused on leveraging private capital to address global poverty and development. Acumen focuses its investments on companies that have a profit motive but serve those "living on less than $4.00 per day". Heavy focus on India, Africa, and Asia.
