Why are we taking the Beyond The Billion Pledge?

Devlabs is taking the pledge because it is aligned with our investment thesis and goal to move a trillion dollars to finance transformational teams solving large problems with unique approaches to innovation and community wealth creation. We have evidence in our current portfolio that teams with a balance mix between women and men are more likely to develop unique approaches to solving big problems. One success story is lirmi.com, the founders are Isabel Lonkomil, a former school teacher in rural Chile, who founded the startup with co-founders Emerson Marin and Marcelo Catrileo. They are now one of the leading edtech companies in Latin America because they are committed to improving the lives of teachers and students around the globe.
