Will Poole is a former Microsoft corporate VP who transitioned from leading technology initiatives for emerging markets to becoming a venture investor, and he co-founded both one of India's first dedicated seed impact funds and Capria as a global accelerator for impact fund managers rather than just backing startups directly. As Capria's AI champion, he has built an internal GenAI prototyping team that works hands-on with portfolio companies on specific use cases like localized farmer chatbots and teacher co-pilots, while publicly stating that businesses not using GenAI will ultimately fail against competitors that do.
