Amplio Ventures seek to focus on growth stage venture capital for businesses restoring refugee stability. From refugee entrepreneurs to companies employing a large majority of their staff from their refugee workforce, Amplio Ventures desires potential portfolio companies to sustain the following four stakes: refugee stability, monetary velocity, growth ability and leadership vitality.
