Amie Patel, Partner at Elevar Equity, shares how the firm is redefining impact investing by putting underserved "entrepreneurial households" at the center of its strategy. With over two decades of experience, Elevar focuses on early-stage investments in business models that provide essential services like education, healthcare, mobility, and housing to communities typically overlooked by mainstream capital.

Amie explains the Elevar Method—a disciplined approach that blends deep field research with scalable distribution models—and why Elevar believes there's no trade-off between impact and financial return. From lessons learned in Fund II to the realities of investing in EV infrastructure in India, this conversation offers a masterclass in market-driven development and mission-aligned investing.
