Acumen

There are more refugees today than at any time in human history.

As humanitarian aid continues to shrink, a new wave of entrepreneurs is rising to meet the challenges, building clean energy solutions, digital infrastructure, and market access in their own communities.

The astronauts from Artemis II are back on Earth with a powerful message about teams.

"A crew is a group that is in it all the time...and a crew is inescapably, beautifully, dutifully linked," said Christina Koch.

It took a whole lot of people to get four people the farthest distance from Earth that humans have ever travelled.

And it has taken many people for Acumen to reach more than 700 million people living in poverty.

Our entrepreneurs, fellows, peer investors, and philanthropists have never had a clear path to progress, but have continued to build systems that actually work for people too often overlooked.

Because of 25 years of teamwork, 359 million more people have access to clean energy, 964,000 jobs have been created or improved, and 38 million farmers have better livelihoods.

That's what real moonshots look like.

Thank you to our global crew.
