We work in partnership with organizations that support or develop productive projects, at a stage in which the projects require funding or additional funding to the resources that NGOs provide, and are prepared to receive credit.
Some of our major strategic partners are:
our team

With experience working at Natixis, an investment bank, and at Venture Institute/AIIVP, a business accelerator with capital investment fund impact, Maria Luisa joined El Buen Socio ready to contribute with her grain of sand in Mexico. Financial inclusion is the battle that she chose to fight and El Buen Socio is her trench.
El Buen Socio allows impact investment to reach projects with social and environmental benefits.

She worked at SEDESOL, where she discovered that her passion is to channel her energy to help improve the way of life of other people; in Chamuchic, where she learned that the key to success is perseverance, and in Crowdfunder MX, an investment program to innovative companies. Monserrat's experiences with vulnerable groups, and her willingness to make México a more inclusive country are the motors that motivate her to be part of El Buen Socio.
