Investment Thesis

coLABS (a Gray Matters Capital portfolio) pursues an impact-first, scalable-investment philosophy: backing early-stage, innovative enterprises that put women and girls at the center of growth and can scale revenue and impact. The firm is sector-agnostic but outcome-focused — it targets ventures that have tested sustainability and are “ready to scale,” pairs capital (seed / pre-series A / follow-on) with strategic advisory support (advisory board formation, “feed-forward” to strengthen business models), and seeks to demonstrate “profit with purpose” by converging social impact with financial returns.

Focus statement

"We are an impact investor in the global south." coLABS focuses on early-stage companies and funds that enable low-resourced women and girls in learning, skilling, economic participation and well-being, providing revenue-share capital (USD $50,000–$250,000), strategic advisory, and follow-on capital to scale proven concepts.

Value Add

Sector-agnostic but explicitly women- and girls-centered: invests across sectors so long as "women are central to the growth of your business."
Combines small seed/revenue-share ticket sizes ("USD $50,000 - $250,000") with hands-on strategic advisory, advisory board formation, and "feed-forward" model to pivot business models for impact.
Clear, time-bound deployment plan and scale targets: "coLABS will be committing $5 million over the next 3 years" and "will be looking to make 6 new investments across the world every six months."
Strong organizational track record and ecosystem experience: built on Gray Matters Capital's two decades of work in microfinance and education finance (e.g., "investments in 78+ enterprises" and reach to "38 million low-resourced women and girls").
Global + Global South emphasis: operates globally but states explicit focus and expertise in the global south and replicable, scalable business models across markets.
Flexible capital instruments and follow-on vehicle: offers revenue-share investments and a dedicated follow-on investment vehicle for select portfolio companies.
