Upaya Social Ventures is a Seattle-based impact investor that provides seed funding ($100K–$500K check sizes) and advisory support to early-stage, post-revenue businesses in India creating dignified jobs for people living in extreme poverty (under $3/day). The firm’s distinctive thesis targets the “missing middle”—companies too large for microfinance but too small for traditional venture capital—with a focus on agricultural value chains, waste-to-value circular economy models, and distributed service delivery platforms. Notable portfolio companies include Krishi Star, Parvata Foods, Karmantik, Saahas, Maitri, and Drishtee, through which Upaya has directly created over 42,000 jobs across 39 investments.
