Independent Remittance-based Self-Sustaining Investment fund for the Mexican Diaspora Indigo is a radical proposal to develop a micro-private equity fund whose source of capital comes from profits generated by a remittances service business targeted toward the US Mexican diaspora. Inspired by Working Assets, the remittances service provides a sustainable business model that allows the Indigo fund to invest in SMEs and take more risks in this underserved market. Bio
