Today, the firm’s 17 portfolio companies reach 111 million people—more than 80% of them in low income brackets—with financial and health services that are hard to access in their home countries. Among the LeapFrog stars: South Africa’s AllLife, the first company to offer life insurance coverage to HIV-positive individuals, and Petra, the largest independent pension trustee in Ghana.
