We partner with their leaders to achieve leaps of growth, profitability and impact. Today, LeapFrog companies reach 205 million people across more than 35 emerging markets. 164 million are low-income consumers often accessing insurance, savings, pensions, credit and healthcare for the first time.
We call this distinctive approach “profit with purpose” because it generates strong results and changes many lives. Leading global investors share this vision and have invested and committed over $1.5 billion to LeapFrog.
