Tilman Ehrbeck brings an unusual background to venture capital, having started as a journalist at a German newspaper before moving through McKinsey consulting and then leading CGAP at the World Bank, where he built global financial inclusion infrastructure before fintech for inclusion became mainstream. He combines deep policy experience from multilateral development work with hands-on early-stage investing, explicitly positioning moral compass and values as front-and-center in his investing approach while maintaining a strong conviction that universal financial inclusion is achievable within our lifetime.
