273 is a crowdsourced, ad supported, philanthropic venture capital fund designed to connect people with entrepreneurs in the developing world. The idea is simple: we ask you to join the 273 team and invest as little as $US25 in an entrepreneur from a developing nation through Kiva.org (these loans are paid back in full in 96% of cases). In return, we will strive to bring you inspiring tales of innovation and entrepreneurship, including the stories of our new business partners in the developing world. What’s more we will share 50% of any profits we generate from advertising and affiliate programs on this site proportionately among those who have invested with the 273 team.
