About Ground Up Investing

Ground Up Investing (GUI) was established in 2017 by Corus International organization Lutheran World Relief to augment and transform traditional development approaches. GUI is an impact first investor that provides enterprises with patient, partnership-oriented capital and technical assistance. We invest at the early stage and look for ambitious founders who are challenging the status quo in developing and frontier markets. Our investments improve the economic prospects for hardworking families and transform the ecological health and resilience of their farms and communities. Our capital partners include philanthropists, institutional funders, and foundations.
