What “vetted” means
How ventures reach the network
Through the Pathway
Ventures come through stages such as Incubate and Accelerate, with mentors.
Ready to raise
In Accelerate, founders work on their numbers, their pitch and their plan for the money.
Screened
Ventures are screened and go through due diligence before investors see them.
Measured
Founders share accounts and impact data, so investors see both kinds of result.

Investing in early-stage enterprises is risky: some will not succeed, and you can lose the money you invest. Invest only what you can afford to lose, and take your own financial and legal advice.
