Today we're talking to Noor Sweid, the founder and general partner of Global Ventures.
Why she matters: Sweid's firm invests primarily in emerging markets across Africa and the Middle East that are often overlooked by larger firms.
Many of the founders Sweid invests in are not pitching sustainability as a business, but incorporate sustainability elements as the cost of doing business in areas that do not have access to affordable power or are battling food insecurity.
