Bankers without Boundaries

BwB, an innovator in finance, is a social enterprise powered by former investment bankers to assist projects with a high environmental and social benefit. BwB serves governments, cities and foundations around the world with expertise to mobilise private capital. BwB is similar to the ethos of Medicins Sans Frontieres which provides medical aid where it is needed most. Prior to beginning BwB, the team researched the topic for 18 months and found this to be a missing service that projects and their sponsors, were asking for. BwB leverages the system by having institutional champions who are keen to supply projects. BwB has built relationships with investment banks and asset managers, to leverage the existing global financial services ecosystem.
