Kora was founded in late 2013 to invest in enduring businesses where its approach could add value to investors, portfolio companies, and communities where it operates and invests.
The company’s largest Emerging Internet portfolio exposure is e-commerce platforms in China, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. It expects consumer wallet share to continue shifting online.
This year upended the personal and working lives of billions around the world and transformed how people communicate, work, and consume. Technology was at the center of many of these changes.
Kora focuses its investment universe on large, growing profit pools across emerging markets and divides it into investment clusters to develop expertise across geographies.
Kora led the Series B investment round in Aleo, a platform the company says could advance blockchain technology and expand its reach into the broader internet.
The company focuses its research on large profit pools it expects to grow significantly in coming decades and invests in a small number of businesses, primarily in Emerging Internet and Niche Financials.
