We’ve talked [1] about Acumen Fund [2] before here [3] at NextBillion – the non-profit venture fund that supports BOP enterprises delivering critical goods and services to the world’s low-income communities through investments. Like us, they too believe in using entrepreneurial, private-sector approaches to solve the problems of poverty.

So it was with great interest that I discovered their recently-launched Acumen Fund Blog: Entrepreneurial Solutions to Global Poverty [4] (the title might be bland, but the content’s not). It appears that most of the Acumen team [5] will be blogging from time to time, sharing personal stories from the field and musing about trying to fund solutions at the BOP. This is looking like a must-read for us base of the pyramid development folks, a burden made easier by Acumen Fund Blog’s RSS feeds (I've added them to my Bloglines - more on RSS here [6])

If you’re itching for a good first story, you might check out “The Challenge of Housing for the BOP [7],” by Acumen COO David Kyle.
