We believe business can be leveraged for the common good. Redemptive entrepreneurs use modern markets to serve people at scale, while working against the exploitation of all stakeholders—teams, investors, partners, customers, and even competitors.

Dense networks build influence that endures. When you put people in proximity with excellence, with redemptive imagination put into action, you see breakthroughs proliferate. From Managing Partner Sajan George:

Anderson Petergeorge, CPA gets some weird looks at parties when he says he's an accountant content creator. 🤓 But he’s influencing the industry—1.6 million impressions, $1M+ in booked ARR—as he builds Quanto in public. At a time when 75% of accountants are set to retire and everyone’s worried about AI coming for their jobs, his company empowers accountants to use AI to grow their capacity, revenue, and margins. Quanto, part of our 2026 Business Accelerator cohort, helps small and mid-sized firms automate their sales and marketing work behind the scenes so accountants can focus on client relationships. Watch Anderson’s pitch and hear how his love for accounting inspired him to build a solution to the capacity crisis: 

Samer Sfeir is using purchasing power over pity to build a more inclusive society for people with disabilities across the Middle East. Based in Lebanon, his venture ProAbled is promoting dignified work for the good of all.

Based in Nigeria, Riches Attai founded Winich Inc to put debit cards in the hands of Africa’s underbanked shareholder farmers. This first-of-its-kind financial infrastructure connects farmers to reliable markets, fair prices, fast payments, and credit—improving their profits and making the food system more efficient. 🌾 Riches has brought his entrepreneurial spirit and economics background to the growing Agri-FinTech industry, developing for redemptive solutions to improve the livelihoods of his neighbors. We’re excited to have him in our 2026 Africa Accelerator cohort.

Realizing the pathways for ministry in the modern world didn’t exist yet awakened Tyler Prieb's redemptive imagination. Tyler founded Missional Labs to find and support the founders pioneering new models for church and missions. So far, they've worked with over 150 founders launching Great Commission ventures across 10 countries. “We help people build new wineskins for the gospel, to reach the unreached, and to push on the frontiers of the kingdom all over the world,” he said. At Praxis, we partner with entrepreneurs who believe that the renewal of all things includes the Church itself, like Tyler helping form a new generation to bring innovative methods to a timeless message. What new wineskin might you be called to build?

"The most powerful possible intervention to benefit every single participant in the foster care system would be one that prevents the need to invoke the system in the first place." https://lnkd.in/g3viv99h

More than half of emergency call centers in the US run on technology that can’t accept a text. For millions of Americans—those who are Deaf, hard of hearing, don't speak English, or can't safely make a voice call—those outdated systems can keep them from getting life-saving care. Gabriella M. Wong, part of our 2026 Nonprofit Cohort, shares about founding accesSOS, a free app that has helped tens of thousands of users contact 911 without speaking. After her Deaf father couldn’t call 911, she realized she couldn’t wait for the systems to catch up. “The system that was supposed to save his life failed him,” she said. “No one should die because they cannot be heard.”
