Core offering

Amazonia Impact Ventures is an impact investment fund manager that mobilizes private capital to finance Amazon rainforest conservation. It provides impact-linked loans and accompanying technical assistance to Indigenous communities, cooperatives, smallholder farmers, and SMEs operating in the Amazon bioeconomy, tying financing terms to measurable environmental and social outcomes.

Product overview

Amazonia Impact Ventures (AIV) operates as an impact investment fund manager, not a technology product company. The firm offers a unified suite of impact investing services centered on the Amazonia Impact Fund, which deploys Impact-Linked Loans as its primary financial instrument. These loans provide flexible capital tied to environmental and social targets, with pricing incentives linked to measurable outcomes. The fund is complemented by a Technical Assistance Facility that provides capacity building to investee enterprises. Together, these offerings form a coherent impact investment model focused on forest conservation, biodiversity protection, and sustainable livelihoods in the Amazon region.
