Managing Partner, Accion Venture Lab

About

Rahil Rangwala took an unconventional path from Bridgewater Associates hedge fund to impact investing, including a self-directed year-long sabbatical at a rural logistics startup in Delhi before joining Accion Venture Lab. He hosts the "Fintech for the People" podcast and has become a visible voice on embedded finance for underserved customers, regularly appearing on conference stages to argue that Africa and other emerging markets represent present opportunities rather than future bets.
