How we work

The Collaborative for Frontier Finance mobilizes additional capital for small and growing businesses in emerging markets in three ways.

DEFINE AN ACTION AGENDA

We define a common vision and action agenda for closing the financing gap that stakeholders can use to align activities, funding, and research.

See CFF’s research on “The Missing Middles: Segmenting Enterprises to Better Understand Their Financial Needs.”

DESIGN + ACCELERATE MODELS

We work with stakeholders to design new approaches and accelerate promising, scalable models that address small and growing business financing needs.

Current clusters include Mezzanine Finance, Pre-Investment Advisory, Very Early Stage Funds, and Angel Investment Networks. Clusters in development include Capital Mobilization and Impact Monetization.
