We also grew in other respects. Our service was in high demand, but we needed more capital to finance our growth. In Germany’s finance institution DEG and agRIF, an impact fund managed by Incofin Investment Management, we found reputable partners. DAIWA PI Partners, the investment arm of a major Japanese securities firm, also took a stake in Rent 2 Own. Our new partners not only provided capital, they also helped us to professionalize our company further. Rent 2 Own truly came of age.
