I’m Bessi Graham.

With nearly 25 years’ experience working with business owners, governments, and large funding bodies to merge money and meaning, my experience spans from the grassroots of sitting in the dirt working with business owners across the Pacific Islands through to the United Nations in Geneva. This has given me unparalleled perspective.

As an entrepreneur, business owner, Angel / VC / Impact Investor, Philanthropist, Coach and Advisor I’ve done everything from:

– Being a decision maker on grant and investment committees driving over a billion dollars of capital into small and medium sized businesses.

– Using my own capital to grant to dozens and invest directly (both debt and equity) in 42 businesses.

– Being engaged by governments and leading financial institutions to design capacity building funds servicing multiple countries to build investment readiness in businesses in emerging and established economies.

– Setting up and being the cornerstone investor in the first impact investment fund focused on the Pacific.
