Think Globally, Innovate Locally
October 21, 2013 Editor 0
In the 18 months since we launched the Accion Venture Lab, our team has spoken to 450 entrepreneurs around the world – and counting. One of the things we look for in potential investees is a willingness to get their hands dirty in learning about their customers and understanding local markets firsthand. We’d prefer that our entrepreneurs hail from the very markets and customer segments they wish to serve, but when that’s not the case, we like to see them adopt these new contexts as “home.”
