TENHABITAT

Are you a Backer?

For governments, development institutions, credit unions and corporates

Across the Caribbean, more than

US$350million

was invested in entrepreneurship support between 2020 and 2025.

Yet roughly 70% of MSMEs remain undercapitalised, and fewer than 3% export directly.

High activity, low conversion.

Institutional partners working together at a table

We created Venture Habitat as the missing conversion layer that turns entrepreneurial activity into decision-grade intelligence — so that capital can be deployed with confidence.

It doesn’t replace what has already been built. It makes it work harder:

01

Turns undercapitalised, thin-file MSMEs into diagnosed, structured, lendable borrowers.

02

Gives lenders the underwriting signal and ongoing oversight that reduce risk on both sides of the loan.

03

Helps structure Micro, Small and Medium businesses so they can attract the patient capital to confidently scale.

We’re convening a founding group of institutional partners to shape how this is built and proven in the region.
