Another week, another great podcast on the books for you all, friends! On this episode, we have Kenneth Kou of Mercy Corps Ventures (MCV). MCV launched in 2015 as the impact investing initiative of Mercy Corps, a global humanitarian aid organization that operates primarily throughout the global south to address economic, environmental, social and political instabilities. In this conversation we explore how Kenneth stepped heading the MCV Venture Lab, we also discuss MCV’s crypto thesis, the problems they aim to tackle with blockchain, and discuss the frontier of MCV and crypto for the global south.
