About BillionScale
BillionScale Health finds and finances solutions to the world’s biggest health challenges, then scales them to reach a billion people. We exist to find and scale five breakthrough solutions to one billion people each in the next ten years. Scale is rare because it’s hard, so we bring together funders, innovators, and local partners to make it happen. Our work spans three pillars: accelerating breakthrough solutions, supporting place-based scale, and multiplying catalytic capital. We’ve done this before – billion-scaling the bed net – and we’re building a global network of Billion-Scalers to do it again, untethered by convention and wildly optimistic about what we can accomplish together.
