Social Light Inc (SLI) is a Philippines-based startup that was founded in 2013 with the mission of Connecting the Unconnected. Initially focused on enterprise WiFi solutions and data analytics, the company recognized the larger issue of internet inaccessibility for low-income groups, particularly in developing countries and cities. In response, SLI pivoted to facilitate inclusive internet access, enabling stakeholders to monetize through various methods including advertising, marketing, subscriptions, and data analytics. The company's emphasis lies in sustainable internet expansion driven by partners' profitability and subsidized or free internet access for underserved communities.
The latest investment in SLI was a Non Equity Assistance investment made on 01 January 2021, with ShelterTech as the investing entity. This strategic backing underscores the potential and relevance of SLI's innovative approach to addressing internet accessibility challenges and underscores its commitment to leveraging technology for social impact and economic empowerment.
