Affinis Labs

Affinis Labs is an award-winning social innovation firm that helps clients creatively tackle complex global challenges through entrepreneurship. We have partnered with Facebook, Google, 500 Startups, the United Nations, and many others to develop new solutions to crises that could undermine our collective futures, whether it is epidemics of conflict and instability, refugee crises, skyrocketing youth unemployment, or dangerous online trends. We believe entrepreneurship provides a powerful framework and tools for driving positive social impact. Affinis Labs helps innovative entrepreneurs take advantage of lucrative global market opportunities and grow their companies while providing social benefits to the markets they serve. To this end, we've announced a $250 million fund in partnership with Palo Alto, CA-based Elixir Capital, and recently launched our online entrepreneurship platform Minbar for emerging markets.
