4. Meet Sam and Ned.
In 2008, we invested $200K in their
idea for a solar lantern to eradicate
kerosene usage. Today, their
company, d.light, has brought light to
more than 50 million people in 62
countries and offset more than four
million tons of CO2. 4

5. Meet Sweta.
In 2005, she set out to create reliable
emergency care for all of India. We
invested $1.5M in her company. Since
then, Ziqitza has grown from eight to
more than 1000 ambulances and
responded to more than 2.5 million
emergency calls across five states. 5

6. Meet Bruce.
He saw potential where others saw
despair. In 2010, we invested $700K to
help him rebuild the cotton-gin
business in post-conflict northern
Uganda. Since then, his company
GADC has trained and improved the
capacity of more than 55,000
smallholder farmers. 6
