What Makes Us Different
LIIN is Sri Lanka's first impact investment firm, dedicated exclusively to social enterprises. We work closely with entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem partners to unlock capital, strengthen investment readiness, and scale businesses that generate measurable social and environmental impact—ensuring our mission-driven focus remains at the heart of everything we do.
Founded in 2015, LIIN was established to create a dedicated space for impact investments in Sri Lanka. Our founding team saw a distinct need for financing options that were specifically designed for social enterprises—businesses that prioritize social and environmental impact alongside financial sustainability.
Our founding partners recognized that social enterprises require more than just capital—they need tailored financial products and strategic support to grow sustainably while staying true to their social missions. This understanding led to LIIN's unique model of combining investment capital with capacity-building programs, mentoring, and advisory services.
LIIN distinguishes itself by offering patient, mission-aligned capital that provides social enterprises with the flexibility they need to scale their impact. We don't just invest; we actively support, guide, and connect enterprises to networks that can further their growth and amplify their mission.
