Ross Baird developed the Village Capital concept in 2009, and has led the development of programmes worldwide. Before launching Village Capital, he worked with First Light Ventures, a seed fund focused on impact investments. Prior to First Light, Ross worked on the development of four education-related startup ventures: the Indian School Finance Company in Hyderabad, India, the National College Advising Corps in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and two ventures using technology to promote civic participation. Village Capital is at the forefront of a new kind of venture investing, using a process that is much more democratic and inclusive, and this method promises to dramatically increase success for everyone involved.
