Zidisha Inc.
FINANCE:
People all around the world are denied the opportunity of becoming entrepreneurs. That means that whole countries are denied the opportunity of growing. A large number of new non-profits is starting to embrace the p2p microloan model, and I think Zidisha is the most interesting one.
Zidisha is a Kiva-like model that doesn't use intermediaries and enables anyone to directly invest in entrepreneurs all around the world.
