Lendahand is pleased to announce the ABN AMRO Sustainable Impact Fund (AA SIF) is acquiring a stake in our crowdfunding platform.
Mongolia is back on the Lendahand map, with InvesCore joining our platform. It’s been a while since Lendahand offered investment opportunities to support SME entrepreneurs in the country.
The newest addition to Lendahand is microfinance institution FACES, an NGO set up in 1991 to support small entrepreneurs with microloans. The non-profit MFI mainly serves women, making up 54% of their client base, and operates for 57% of their portfolio in rural areas.
Amazing news! For the third time, Lendahand has been awarded the Crowdfunding Platform of the Year.
Two is better than one, and after recently welcoming our first microfinance institution in Kyrgyzstan on Lendahand, we’re now excited to soon launch projects with a second MFI in the region: Bailyk. With Bailyk, we will double the impact our crowd can make in Kyrgyzstan.
For the fourth time in a row, Lendahand received the Best Choice label and a nomination for Crowdfunding platform of the Year from IEX.nl. Time to evaluate the customer service at Lendahand.
We’re excited to tap into a new region by adding Kyrgyzstan to our portfolio. Lendahand welcomes our first Kyrgyz portfolio company: Salym, a microfinance institution that supports entrepreneurs and people in rural and peri-urban areas, outside of the cities.
Sarona Asset Management, a pioneering private equity firm focused on frontier and emerging markets and Lendahand, an innovative crowdfunding company, have announced partnerships with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) CATALYZE project to scale investment in women-led funds and businesses.
