"Opportunities for massive value creation, sustainable growth and human development lie at the "Base of the Pyramid" (BOP), a socio-economic designation for the 4 billion individuals that live primarily in developing countries and whose annual per capita incomes fall below $1,500 (PPP).
Discovering and tapping the BOP's market potential requires the development of new strategies and businesses, as well as a fundamental change in how individuals and organizations in wealthy countries view their roles and rewards in the developing world. This group is designed to foster, facilitate, and capture ideas and best practices in entrepreneurship and new venture development in the Base of the Pyramid." - BoP Working Group on Yahoo Groups
