Growth Stage Impact Ventures (GSIV) programme – Colombia

The Growth Stage Impact Ventures (GSIV) program is a highly competitive process to identify enterprises from developing countries that have developed at-scale products and services that contribute to the SDGs while achieving commercial success. Identified ventures have a proven impact, demonstrated product-market fit, and a revenue-generating self-sustainable model or have raised already a round of investment – becoming therefore attractive for international capital. By showcasing these ventures, UNDP aims to bring forward evidence of the existence of pipelines of investable ventures that can advance the transition to SDG-aligned investment in developing countries.

UNDP also works with a network of partners at the global, regional and country level to promote the changes necessary, including through the SDG Impact initiative. The initiative involves among others, market intelligence by identifying areas of SDG investment opportunities in developing countries through the formulation of SDG Investor maps. The GSIV takes the Investor Map of a given country one step further, defining a mechanism to identify specific ventures operating in the priority investment sectors coming out of the SDG investor maps, and therefore, a potential investable pipeline to advancing the SDGs at country level. This pipeline of enterprises identified through the GSIV can be used by financial intermediaries (brokers) to close deals.
