Our Capabilities

In Their Words

A Few Words From the People We Have Worked With.

We came in expecting a technology conversation. What we took away was a clearer view of how branchless banking and digital channels can help us serve our 20 million clients better.

Bank Mandiri

The work done by Prateek to develop the digital transformation roadmap including pragmatic AI based solutions for the MRA in Bangladesh today will strengthen over 700 MFIs and their clients in the country.

IFC Bangladesh

I expected to finish with a list of tools. We finished with a small internal team that can run these questions without outside help. That has proved more useful to us than any single use case we examined.

Fundación Génesis Empresarial

The Circle helped us move from thinking about AI as a set of individual tools to thinking about how it can be embedded more systematically across the fund.

Ghassen SeghaierVice President, Private Equity, SPE Capital

The Circle helped in realizing the capabilities of AI tools in deal management, identifying gaps through our processes, and how we can manage repetitive tasks and reporting, which take up a lot of the team’s time.

It helped us go to the next level of AI usage. It helped us automate part of the investment process.

Adelina DassoRegional Partner, LatAm, Accion Digital Transformation Fund

I joined the AI Circle hoping to build a broader understanding of AI. What surprised me most was not only the capability of the technology, but how accessible it already is and the potential it offers to rapidly scale social impact in ways that were previously difficult to imagine.

Start With a Conversation.

Most of our work starts with an introduction and a call. If you are an investor, we will start with your fund. If you are a company, we will start with what your investor or board is asking you to prove.
