Buko Ventures invests in foundational businesses in emerging markets where digital adoption is accelerating. Their core thesis is that investing in emerging markets is like “traveling back in time” - they can apply proven business models from more developed markets to countries at similar developmental stages. They focus on companies building online experiences for the 4 billion people coming online for the first time in the next 15 years, believing startups can be “an extremely positive force for good in developing economies.”
