"I have long wanted an entity like Valiente Capital Design to exist. We need processes that design financial vehicles that work for local context, intentionally constructed to shift power dynamics in the economies in which we are investing. Once we design the right structure, we can identify who can manage the vehicle. We need to intentionally design new financing mechanisms in ways that challenge us to boldly reimagine finance for social change."

JOY ANDERSON, Criterion Institute

"Our work with Valiente Capital Design resulted in us totally reconceptualizing the fund we wanted to launch -- and building a resourcing initiative that deeply reflects our organization's values and the creativity and brilliance of our community partners as well."

WAIN COLLEN, Executive Director, ALIADOS
