Sturgeon is a for-profit and for-impact investor, investing in early-stage, high-growth technology companies that blend financial returns with real and measurable social and economic impact. We believe that the inefficiencies plaguing businesses and consumers in Sturgeon’s markets can only be solved sustainably and at scale through technology solutions. These solutions leverage the increasing prevalence of smartphones and growing internet penetration to provide access to products and services, especially to underserved populations, in a way that the government and traditional businesses cannot. Thus, delivering capital to companies capitalizing on the digital transition in emerging markets is inherently impactful.
Our core geographic focus is Bangladesh, Central Asia, Egypt, and Pakistan, and we retain the right to invest in adjacent markets that display sufficient synergies.
