“The private sector has typically overlooked and underestimated very, very low income people because it's focused primarily on profit—that's changing. And through Acumen's investment structures, we can work with those private companies that are setup in order to solve problems of poverty, building a class of customers and giving them freedom, choice, the ability to make their own decisions...and from our perspective that's dignity.” — Acumen CEO Jacqueline Novogratz from Semafor’s Next 3 Billion Studio
