**About Acumen**
Acumen is an international nonprofit that solves problems of poverty through three distinct strategies. We invest patient capital (long-term philanthropy-backed investment) in companies that solve tough problems of poverty. We build alliances across sectors to scale solutions. And, from the lessons gained through our work, we are building "the world's school for social change" to equip a generation with the tools, knowledge, and moral imagination required to take on tough problems. To date, Acumen has invested $145M in 140 companies that, in turn, have impacted the lives of more than 450M individuals across 19 nations; and we continue to expand our reach.

**About Acumen Academy**
Acumen Academy is unique. It's a place where people from around the world go to find skills, tools, and a deeper exploration of character. It is a community created for and by individuals who are focused on building what the world could be rather than lamenting what is. Our hope is that anyone focused on making change comes to see Academy as the place to learn and contribute.

Acumen Academy offers a) immersive leadership programs b) an action and impact oriented global community bound by shared values (known as The Foundry) c) free online instructional resources created for entrepreneurial leaders that are available to anyone with an internet connection.
