VC blending purpose+progress, capital+community, and innovation+execution to help founders build a more financially inclusive world. We fuel global fintech.
We partner with founders building a more financially inclusive world.
Quona has been backing fintech companies driving financial inclusion in emerging markets since 2015. Now, the rest of the world is taking note, and fintech and embedded finance models continue to dominate venture globally. In 2021, global fintech funding reached a record $132 billion, accounting for 21% of all venture dollars.
Everyone talks about impact, but few deliver numbers to back the noise.
It takes more than money to make a startup successful. At the heart of Quona is our sense of connection - to founders, to our investors, and to the markets we serve across the globe. When we invest, we put our global and local experience to work, helping portfolio companies maximize impact and financial returns.
Before becoming an independent venture firm in 2015, Quona got its start inside of Accion, a global nonprofit committed to creating a financially inclusive world. Today Quona and its portfolio still benefit from Accion’s global presence, institutional relationships, and deep history of impact investing in emerging markets.
