Memories of Triumph: Celebrating Our Successes in 2022

Out of the many definitions of ‘Win’ in Merriam Webster, I like this one - “to be the victor in”. Whether we fail, sail or scale, we celebrate each one as a win! Rolling back the clock by 365 days, and before we start focusing on 2023’s audacious goals, we would like to propose a toast to the wins of 2022.

As we continue to grow Capria’s direct investment portfolio in Global South markets, we rated ‘diversity’ as a high priority in our selection criteria, with a strong commitment to gender inclusivity and equal opportunity. And the numbers speak for themselves.

63% of funds in Capria Network have a female partner or principal. 68% funds have women in senior leadership. Half of Capria Network funds have 50%+ women on team. And walking the talk, Capria’s own team has 55%+ women.

This truly captures Capria’s investment expedition in the Global south markets last year. Capria -

We made our maiden investment in Indonesia with an investment in Alami, a Shariah-compliant peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platform for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), and digital bank for individuals and MSMEs.

The series of investments in innovative tech startups aiming to deliver scaled impact is not everything that we celebrate. We added three leading funds - Valor (Brazil), NXTP (Argentina) and India Quotient (India), to an existing network of fabulous investing partners, and increased our network strength significantly.

And in the process, Capria continued to gain prominence in leading media across the Global south. A few highlights of that:

We were at the DealStreetAsia summit, as one among prominent speakers this year! Our partnership with Cometa Ventures saw prominent visibility across Bloomberg, Forbes Mexico, Contxto, LABS and many others. We also went live on CNBC in India, bringing a global perspective to a panel discussing headwinds faced by local startups. In Africa, our participation in Techpoint (Africa’s leading podcast) ‘Equity Merchant’ helped shed light on our companies, scaling new heights.

Encouraging enough as 2022 was, 2023 begins with bigger aspirations. Together with our partners and founders we are looking forward to a big year. Happy New Year!
