Working Capital Innovation Fund (WCIF) is the leading early-stage impact venture fund focused on supply chain innovations that improve outcomes for vulnerable workers. The Fund’s goal is to reduce the most severe forms of labor exploitation by accelerating the development and deployment of supply chain solutions that offer greater transparency and accountability into corporate operations. Launched in 2017, WCIF has deployed over US$15 million to start-ups across the globe through its first Fund and is actively deploying its second Fund (expected over $50 million assets under management) to scale our work, and create a larger footprint for “S” within ESG. The Fund was originally launched and incubated within Humanity United, a private foundation that is part of The Omidyar Group (“TOG”). WCIF is partnered with some of the largest corporations and foundations. For further information, visit our website.
