  Il concetto di 'azienda unicorno' nasce nel 2013 nella Silicon Valley per descrivere startup non quotate in borsa con valutazione oltre un miliardo di dollari, caratterizzate da crescita esponenziale spinta da capitale di rischio (venture capital) e dipendenza dagli investitori, con modelli che privilegiano la scalabilità e il dominio di mercato, anche a scapito della redditività immediata. Esempi: Uber, Airbnb. Le 'aziende zebra' rappresentano un'alternativa concreta che integra profitto e impatto sociale positivo, punta a sostenibilità finanziaria ed etica, crescita organica e indipendenza strategica, collaborazione e costruzione di valore autentico per clienti, dipendenti e comunità. La filosofia zebra valorizza stabilità finanziaria, benessere dei collaboratori, soddisfazione dei clienti e impatto positivo, rifiutando la crescita a tutti i costi tipica degli unicorni.

  We started Jungle in 2012 with the goal of creating a different kind of venture capital firm, by not trying to be everything to everyone. We have done this by focusing on fewer investments than our peers and only targeting entrepreneurs who have ambitions to build regional if not global category leaders. 

  We also invested in building a team that has more than 100 years of actual operating experience and diverse networks in the region, with a deep commitment to helping the few entrepreneurs that we back every year. This has helped our founders be more effective at early stages with Jungle providing steady access to longer term capital and relevant market expansion expertise.

  Jungle invests in three macro themes- digital brands serving the young consumers of Asia, technology platforms that help Asian SME's adopt technology and disruptive technology ideas with global potential. We are proud to have been the earliest backers of companies such as Livspace, Reddoorz, Pomelo, Kredivo, TookiTaki, Deskera, Sociolla amongst others.

Its aim is to deliver clean, affordable energy to more than 10 million people in East Africa, at least half of whom are low-income, and displace more than a million tons of carbon; contributing to solving energy poverty while helping to avert the long-term climate crisis.
