Mission & Vision
Shaping the Future of Global Entrepreneurship
At RSTMORS Foundation, we are guided by a clear and ambitious purpose: to create a world where entrepreneurial talent can flourish regardless of where it originates. Our mission and vision define the strategic direction of our organization and inspire every program, partnership, and investment we undertake.
Our Mission
Empowering Visionaries to Build Tomorrow
Our mission is to democratize access to the resources, knowledge, and networks that transform innovative ideas into successful, sustainable businesses. We believe that the next world-changing company could come from anywhere, and we are targeting to ensure that geography, background, or lack of connections never prevents a talented entrepreneur from realizing their vision.
We are targeting to accomplish this mission through a comprehensive ecosystem of support that includes strategic capital investment, personalized mentorship from experienced operators, access to our global network of partners and experts, and educational programs that build essential entrepreneurial capabilities.
Every partnership we form will be guided by our belief that great ideas can come from anywhere, and that with the right support, any entrepreneur can create meaningful change in the world. We are targeting to take a long-term view of success, supporting founders through multiple stages of growth and remaining committed partners even when challenges arise.
Our mission extends beyond individual company success. We are targeting to actively work to strengthen startup ecosystems in underserved regions, advocate for policies that support entrepreneurship, and share our knowledge freely to benefit the broader entrepreneurial community.
Our Vision
A World Where Innovation Knows No Boundaries
We envision a global ecosystem where entrepreneurship flourishes across all borders, cultures, and communities. A world where the next breakthrough solution can emerge from any corner of the globe, and where talented founders everywhere have access to the same quality of support and opportunity.
In this future, startup ecosystems in Lagos, São Paulo, Jakarta, and Nairobi will be as vibrant and well-resourced as those in Silicon Valley or London. Local entrepreneurs will have access to global capital, world-class mentorship, and international markets without needing to relocate or compromise their cultural roots.
Our vision extends beyond individual success stories. We aim to create a ripple effect where empowered entrepreneurs become mentors themselves, perpetuating a cycle of innovation and support that strengthens startup ecosystems worldwide. Each successful founder in our network will pay forward their knowledge and experience, multiplying our impact exponentially.
We are targeting to support 1,000 startups across 50 countries, creating a global network of innovators who are collectively addressing the world's most pressing challenges—from climate change and healthcare access to financial inclusion and educational equity.
Our Strategy
Strategic Pillars
Our mission and vision are supported by four strategic pillars that guide our program development, resource allocation, and partnership decisions.
Targeted Investment
We are targeting to deploy capital strategically to high-potential startups at critical inflection points. Our investment approach will focus on companies with strong unit economics, defensible competitive advantages, and founders with demonstrated resilience and adaptability. We aim to maintain sector-agnostic flexibility while developing deep expertise in key industries.
Comprehensive Mentorship
We are targeting to provide personalized guidance through every stage of the entrepreneurial journey. Our mentorship programs will pair founders with experienced operators who have relevant industry experience, complement their skill gaps, and can provide practical advice based on real-world challenges they have navigated themselves.
Ecosystem Development
We are targeting to strengthen startup ecosystems in underserved regions through infrastructure investment, policy advocacy, and community building. We aim to work with local governments, universities, and established companies to create conditions that allow entrepreneurship to thrive beyond traditional tech hubs.
Knowledge Sharing
We are targeting to freely share insights, frameworks, and best practices with the broader entrepreneurial community. Through publications, events, and open-source tools, we aim to elevate the entire ecosystem, recognizing that our success is measured by the collective advancement of global entrepreneurship.
Our Strategic Goals
We are establishing ambitious but achievable goals that will guide our growth and ensure we are making meaningful progress toward our vision. These targets will be reviewed annually and adjusted based on learning and changing conditions.
Startups to Support
Target: 1,000+ startups
We are targeting to build our portfolio to include over 1,000 high-potential startups across diverse industries and stages. This represents a significant scaling of our team, programs, and infrastructure while maintaining quality of support.
Countries with Active Programs
Target: 50+ countries
We are targeting to establish presence and active support programs in at least 50 countries worldwide, with particular focus on emerging markets in Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East where entrepreneurial talent is abundant but support infrastructure is limited.
Cumulative Funding to Facilitate
Target: $500M+ facilitated
We are targeting to facilitate over $500 million in funding for our portfolio companies through direct investment, co-investment with partners, and connections to our network of institutional investors. This capital will enable our startups to scale operations and capture market opportunities.
Direct Jobs to Create
Target: 10,000+ jobs
We are targeting to enable the creation of over 10,000 meaningful employment opportunities globally through the growth of our portfolio companies. Beyond quantity, we aim to track job quality metrics including compensation levels, benefits, and career development opportunities.
