Driving opportunities for a better future
A new impact investment vehicle
Financial support with a mission
We have identified a lack of patient and flexible financing and technical assistance to support SMEs capable of generating employment, reducing poverty, combating inequality and adapting to climate change in vulnerable contexts.
We support impact enterprises that have the creation of positive social and environmental impact as their compass and need capital to achieve it.
We promote investment that prioritizes the generation of impact over financial return, while maintaining a logic of capital preservation.
Skin in the game
We provide catalytic capital from our own funds, covering the part of the risk that is more difficult for traditional investors to assume.
We get involved from a committed and long-term vision.
Experience
We count with the support of strategic partners and funders who provide consolidated experience in supporting local ventures and their ecosystems, in Latin America, Africa and Spain.
Transparency
We define success as a balance between the positive social and environmental impact we help create and the sustainability of investment vehicles and the enterprises that enable that impact.
We are committed to provide timely accountability to all our stakeholders.
Cooperation
We are constantly looking for like-minded partners for co-investment and ecosystem development, prioritizing collaborative effort, synergies and shared vision in impact investment.
We act as a catalyst for social and environmental impact
We believe in the consolidation of the economic and productive sectors in vulnerable environments as a driving force to generate social and environmental impact and, in this way, contribute to the reduction of inequality and people's vulnerability.

And we do it through our main pillars
Impact enterprises
Impact
Able to generate decent employment for the most disadvantaged population and ensure a positive social and environmental impact.
Commitment
Promoted by experienced entrepreneurs and teams committed to generating positive impact through inclusive and sustainable business models.
Innovation
Committed to developing and implementing business models based on innovation (agri-food development, access to goods and services, gender equity and climate change).
Sustainability
Economically viable, with a high scalability potential (proven business model and in the "early stage" of growth) and with financing needs between €100,000 and €500,000.
Our geographic scope
BO is currently focused on Latin America (with Mexico and Colombia as priority countries, but with a regional scope in Central and South America). We will soon expand our reach and we will be looking for opportunities in Africa and Spain.
Our initial steps
2022New Beginnings
We started our activity by investing in Global Social Impact Fund-Africa, a pioneering impact investment fund in Spain.2023First Commitments
We activated a strategic partnership with a Mexican Fintech, Viwala, with a common goal: to contribute to closing the financing gap for women-led-business and SMEs that generate environmental and social impact in Mexico, using a blended finance mechanism.2023/2024Present
We are expanding our pipeline with a focus on direct investments and identifying co-investors with similar objectives to partner with in order to provide shared value to the companies in which we invest.
Our partnerships
Networking
We are members of platforms and networks that promote connections and learning among industry players, such as Latimpacto and the European Venture Philanthropy Association (EVPA), with the aim of contributing to the growth of the industry and the creation of value-added collaborations.
Advocacy
We participate in national or supranational movements that promote impact investment and influence policies in this matter (i.e. SpainNab).
Commitment to sector development
We contribute to the creation and are involved in initiatives that promote the dissemination of impact investing as an impact-amplifying instrument within the philanthropy and development cooperation sector (i.e. Fondo de Fundaciones)
Promotion of innovation
We participate in working groups or “think tanks” aimed at improving and systematizing knowledge in this area (i.e. Think Tank Impact Management University of Comillas).
