Who
We Are

Ventures, Blue Haven’s direct investment team, focuses on companies and funds that seek market-rate returns alongside social and environmental impact.

We primarily invest in early-stage, tech-enabled businesses in renewable energy, financial services, logistics, and healthcare. Entering markets early gives us the unique opportunity to partner with pioneering entrepreneurs. Our Founders are often building scalable companies to create economic opportunity, improve standards of living, and deliver products and services to underserved communities.

At Blue Haven, we believe in the opportunity for outsized impact presented by emerging markets and are experienced first movers in often overlooked investment geographies. Currently, 80% of the companies in the Ventures portfolio are based in developing countries and emerging markets, including many countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
