Digital Integration. Smarter Capital. Greater Impact.

Connecting Capital to
High-Impact Enterprises

Algora serves as the central nervous system for the impact economy, bridging the critical disconnect between global capital and high-potential enterprises in emerging markets. By digitizing the investment lifecycle, we facilitate the flow of funds to where they can do the most good.

The $8 Trillion Missing Middle Gap

High impact Missing Middle Enterprises (MMEs) are the engines of local economies, yet they face a debilitating capital shortage known as the "Missing Middle." These enterprises are too large for microfinance institutions, yet are considered too small or "risky" for traditional commercial banks and venture capital firms.

$930B
Funding Gap

The estimated credit gap faced by missing middle enterprises (MMEs), 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 ($50K-$500K) economically prohibitive for investors.

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 MMEs lack formal credit histories or standardized financial reporting. This absence of verifiable data creates a perception of high risk, even for fundamentally sound and viable businesses, deterring potential investment.

4

Capacity Constraints

On the demand side, enterprises often lack "investor readiness" in their operations and governance. On the supply side, global investors frequently lack the local market knowledge and presence required to navigate specific regional nuances effectively.
