GO invests in leaders who have the capacity to end poverty in their communities. We believe that community-based leaders have the wisdom and ambition to address the root causes of poverty — if only they were properly supported. By engaging a global network through technology, GO is able to provide these leaders with the tools — visibility, training and seed funding — they need to bring their projects to scale and accelerate systemic change in their own communities and beyond.

GO concentrates on identifying and developing leadership in the world's poorest settings. In order to identify the most capable leaders, we collaborate with our vast network of NGO partners, non-profit allies, volunteers, and funders. 

GO looks for driven leaders who have demonstrated a commitment to their programs and their communities and are uniquely positioned to make an impact in their sector. We select leaders who are committed to creating systemic change by working on programs that address the root causes of poverty within their communities (whether they be related to water, agriculture, health, education, literacy, energy, housing, etc.). Their project(s) must meet the following criteria: 
1) 	Have a sound business model and the potential to scale
2)	Be In the early to mid-stage process of launching and are in need of seed capital to move forward
3) 	Lack other opportunities for visibility or funding
