We Join Leaders in Frontier Tech and Impact Initiatives to
5TH ELEMENT GROUP
Providing Change-Makers With Strategies and Tools To Create a Better World.
5th Element Group PBC is a global business accelerator that drives growth using frontier tech for good.
Our mission is to deploy frontier technology to create capital that did not exist before, deploy that capital where it has yet to be deployed, and scale new forms of corresponding collaboration. Our vision is to help create a new socio-economic era that closes historic gaps in last mile inclusion and engages the “bottom billion” in creating quantum leaps for humanity, and for a better planet. Our mandate is to achieve this with client-partners through six practice areas, which integrate traditional and innovative impact strategies to facilitate omniwin value exchange.

DECADE OF WOMEN
We believe that frontier technology can help us achieve a dignified, unified and decentralized world. We also believe that women are the linchpin to achieving this reality through their leadership in solving global issues. That’s why 5th Element has chosen to prioritize SDG #5 — Gender Equity — as the precursor for achieving all other goals.

Sharing excitement for the intersection of impact and frontier technology.
The ability to harness blockchain technology for purposes of establishing identity, sending and receiving digital currency – and being sure that it is used by the person for whom it was intended, tracking shipments, etc. arguably may help women to achieve full financial engagement and last-mile inclusion.
Joshua Ashley KlaymanCo-lead, Morrison & Foerster LLP’s Blockchain + Smart Contracts
Blockchain is the enabler to gender equality. It allows EVERY woman – the poor, the refugees and the modern day slaves – the ability to own, access and monetize their data, giving them the economic power needed to create equal gender equity. Utilizing blockchain to create equity for women can end extreme poverty and modern day slavery. Our partner 5th Element Group is helping lead the way.
Ashish GadnisCEO, BanQu
I participated in the Decade Of Women Collaboratory led by 5th Element Group…because this frontier technology represents a game-change moment when financial inclusion and independence for women can be achieved at a dramatic new scale. I’ll do all I can to make it happen with partners that can bring the change.
