An impact-focused programme known for letting cohort founders select which companies receive investment.
Village Capital runs accelerator programmes across the world with one structural innovation: at the end of several cohorts, the founders themselves rank each other, and investment goes to the companies their peers select.
The mechanism exists to counteract investor pattern-matching. Founders who have spent weeks examining each other's businesses often assess them differently from investors reading a deck.
Village Capital's portfolio spans financial inclusion, agricultural technology, health access, and education across Africa, Latin America, South Asia, and the United States.
Its most cited contribution is methodological — the peer selection model has been studied and adopted by other programmes seeking to reduce selection bias.
Global Capital Network connects accelerator graduates with investors ready for the next round.
