COIGNE

COIGNE (Community Oriented Investment Generating New Enterprise) specializes in human-wildlife conflict zones and conservation areas. We build wildlife-enabled economies at scale by investing in locally owned enterprises tackling conservation, climate mitigation, food security, and supply-chain sustainability. COIGNE provides a framework to deliver social impact and financial returns while scaling up entrepreneurship in underserved, complex markets that hold the key to saving the world's free-roaming wildlife from extinction. COIGNE keeps profits in the hands of communities to foster generational wealth transfer and human behavioral adaptions toward wildlife crime. COIGNE overturns the donor model (and traditional exit) by providing loan financing to commercial entities in return for profit sharing for a set time period. We unlock scalable asset capital with long-term returns by liaising with community institutions, enhancing accountability, and providing expertise in the local operating environment. Supported by COIGNE, communities will deliver an entrepreneurial ecosystem for direct employment and workforce development at scale. COIGNE enters the target market one country at a time for project saturation in defined regions that are interconnected and substantial for both communities and government. Our unique value proposition is a tech-enabled COIGNE Risk Management System whereby security, intelligence, operations, and communications interact continuously across the portfolio. COIGNE enables investees to monitor and measure progress against potential threats. Our founding team has decades of experience designing big business/military operational models with a post-conflict resolution framework.
