The $8 Trillion Missing Middle Gap

Small and growing businesses (SGBs) in emerging markets are the engines of local economies, yet they face a debilitating capital shortage known as the "Missing Middle."

$930B
Funding Gap

The estimated credit gap faced by small and growing businesses in emerging markets, preventing them from scaling operations and creating jobs.

32%
Gender Disparity

Women-owned businesses face significantly larger financing gaps, often due to systemic bias and lack of collateral.

$150K
Transaction Costs

Traditional due diligence costs range from $50K to $150K, making smaller investment ticket sizes economically prohibitive.

Four Barriers to Impact Investment

The capital exists, and the demand exists. However, systemic inefficiencies prevent capital from flowing where it is needed most.

1

High Transaction Costs

The cost of sourcing, vetting, and monitoring deals remains relatively constant regardless of the investment size. When due diligence costs $50K-$150K, it renders small-ticket investments financially unviable.

2

Information Asymmetry

Investors lack reliable, standardized data on local markets and specific enterprises. Conversely, enterprises often lack knowledge of what investors require.

3

Perceived Risk

Many SGBs lack formal credit histories or standardized financial reporting. This absence of verifiable data creates a perception of high risk, even for fundamentally sound businesses.

4

Capacity Constraints

Enterprises often lack "investor readiness" in their operations and governance. Investors frequently lack the local market knowledge required to navigate regional nuances.

Algora's Integrated Solution

An end-to-end digital ecosystem that streamlines every stage of the investment process, reducing friction and cost.

Sourcing & Due Diligence

Our mission-aligned matching engine and automated workflows reduce sourcing, screening, investment readiness and due diligence costs by 40-60%. Enhanced enterprise profiles with investment readiness documentation and video introductions humanize the data.

Impact Monitoring

Standardized frameworks (SDGs, IRIS+, 2X Challenge) combined with real-time tracking dashboards and automated data collection ensure impact is verified, not just promised.

Portfolio Reporting

Unified financial and impact dashboards produce multiple compliance-ready reports and customizable stakeholder/funder reporting templates, saving significant administrative time.

ROI Optimization

Advanced tools for performance pattern identification, scenario modeling, and peer benchmarking to maximize both financial and social returns.
