GROUND UP InVESTING

Ground Up Investing (GUI) is the impact investing platform of Corus International, providing early-stage capital to rural enterprises that are strengthening agricultural value chains and expanding economic opportunity in underserved markets.

Ground Up Investing was established to address a persistent gap in financing for early-stage agribusinesses and rural enterprises operating in complex, high-risk environments. Built within the Corus ecosystem, GUI reflects a commitment to combining market-based solutions with long-term development impact, ensuring that capital is deployed where it can generate both financial sustainability and measurable social outcomes.

As part of Corus, GUI is integrated into a broader system that connects investment, technical expertise and implementation capability. This structure aligns capital with field-based knowledge and development practice, strengthening both performance and impact.

GUI is designed to generate both financial returns and measurable development outcomes. Its portfolio companies contribute to increased smallholder incomes, improved market access, job creation and more resilient agricultural systems, with benefits extending across rural communities and value chains.
