Vista Ventures Social Impact Fund focuses on social entrepreneurs in developing countries and the infrastructure that supports them. Founded by an impact investor with years of experience in sub Saharan Africa, Vista Ventures has seen the successes that can be brought by the combination of entrepreneurial drive, market needs and investor capital. They endeavor to apply those same resources to social entrepreneurs who provide goods and services that help to alleviate poverty or improve the environment in developing countries.

Vista Ventures services often include advice and training for entrepreneurs regarding the expectations and requirements of various types of investors as they plan their capital attraction strategies. In some cases, Vista Ventures provides specific advice or very small amounts of catalytic capital to bridge the company to a specific milestone usually related to increased sales or raising capital. They help entrepreneurs to understand issues in valuation, to negotiate the terms of the investment and to establish practices of good corporate governance.

For impact investors, Vista Ventures helps to sharpen their focus on regions and industries in order to develop realistic expectations of risk and return as well as social impact. They undertake the due diligence on the investment opportunity or certain aspects of the due diligence process and make specific recommendations regarding terms including those that help to protect the investment during the key early years.
