Pathfinders
Whether through our hands-on operational improvements or our proprietary digital playbook, we are dedicated to building resilient businesses that deliver exceptional returns and create lasting economic value.
Building with Passion
Inbi Pathfinders is a non-profit company dedicated to unlocking South Africa's entrepreneurial potential.
Our Thesis
Our thesis is that capital alone cannot solve inequality. The greatest barrier for township entrepreneurs is the 'investment-readiness' gap. We provide the critical training and catalytic support to bridge this gap, building a pipeline of sustainable, fundable businesses from the ground up.
Thesis
Our Platforms
We operate an ecosystem of non-profit programs designed to build entrepreneurs. From our 'Digital Operator Academy' (non-financial training) to our 'Investment-Readiness Fund' (catalytic grants), our platforms provide a step-by-step pathway for informal businesses to become formal, sustainable, and investable.
Platforms
Our Edge
Our advantage is our unique ecosystem. As the non-profit arm of a private equity firm, we translate our for-profit 'Digital Operator Playbook' into an accessible, world-class curriculum. This creates a direct, de-risked pathway for our entrepreneurs to access institutional capital from our partners.
