This year, GCI has come on board as an official Capital Partner to UI, and will be seeking new social ventures to work with.

Over the past 18 months, GCI has funded two Unreasonable Institute alums:

Sanga Moses, Unreasonable Institute Alum 2011. Through his company Eco-Fuel Africa, Sanga is revolutionizing Uganda’s cooking fuel industry.

Maria Springer, Unreasonable Institute Alum 2010. Through her company, she’s redefining youth employment possibilities in slumland communities of Kenya, all while cracking the problem of “last mile distribution” for socially beneficial products in emerging economies.
