Frequently asked questions
How does Artha Impact source its deals?
The firm relies on a localized sourcing model anchored by regional offices and long-standing partnerships with incubators, accelerators, and development finance institutions in India and East Africa. The lean Zurich team supplements this with targeted travel and conference participation. The firm does not maintain a public application portal.
What investment stages does Artha Impact typically target?
The firm writes first-instructional checks at the seed and early-stage level, usually in the $500,000 to $2 million range. It will follow on selectively in later rounds where a clear path to sustainability exists, occasionally alongside DFIs like IFC or FMO.
Which sectors does Artha Impact explicitly avoid?
The firm does not invest in extractive industries, consumer lending platforms that lack a clear financial-inclusion thesis, or any business with a direct-negative environmental footprint that cannot be mitigated within the investment horizon. Arms, tobacco, alcohol, and gambling are exclusionary.
Does Artha Impact make fund commitments or only direct deals?
The primary activity is direct equity investment in operating companies. The firm has occasionally backed ecosystem funds and accelerators as a limited partner when doing so opens a sourcing channel, but this is not a core-line activity.
