Description

IFC — a member of the World Bank Group — is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We work in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities. Our mission is to leverage the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet.

The Disruptive Technologies and Venture Capital team (“CDFDT”) invests in VC funds and venture/early growth companies that offer innovative technologies or business models with high impact potential in the emerging markets.
