Homestrings

Homestrings is a pioneering web-based crowdfunding platform that caters to the 240 million Diaspora, offering them exclusive access to vetted opportunities in Frontier and Emerging markets. Founded over a decade ago, it has garnered a membership of over 5,000 and boasts a commendable track record of funding over $25 million for 35 transactions across 12 countries with minimal capital investment. Originally focused on early-stage crowdfunding in Africa with an emphasis on Diaspora investment, Impact, and Development, Homestrings has pivoted to concentrate on structuring Frontier and Emerging Market Transactions, transitioning from crowdfunding to creating pipelines of structured transactions for global access. The platform's evolution from a niche crowdfunding service to a sophisticated investment pipeline reflects a strategic shift in its business model and its positioning within the digital finance industry. With its founding date of 2012, Homestrings has been pivotal in tapping into the potential of the Diaspora as a source of investment in emerging economies. Homestrings, currently headquartered in the United States, primes itself as a platform that not only enables investment but also aligns with the ethos of making a meaningful impact in the home countries of its members. This alignment with the broader goals and aspirations of the Diaspora presents an intriguing investment opportunity for VC firms seeking exposure to frontier and emerging markets within the finance sector. As such, the evolution of Homestrings and its pronounced shift to structured transactions presents an attractive proposition for potential investors seeking to engage with the burgeoning opportunities presented by emerging markets.
