Solving what truly matters is the clearest path to lasting success. That’s why we only back companies with real, positive impact. And we want others to follow. So we’ve open-sourced our entire investment framework. Steal it. Run with it.
Impact

Designed to make impact win

Impact companies transform entire industries and supply chains. These growth journeys will look different than those of Uber, Klarna, or Facebook. Creating solutions at scale requires more than blitzscaling.
This isn’t about moving fast and breaking things. This is about moving fast and fixing things.

We are designed for that specific journey. We offer a growth platform purposely built for them to win in the next economy. One that is powered by a global ecosystem of top-tier advisors, collaborators, and partners, all focused on guiding companies through complex hurdles, fast-tracking them to success. And we want others to succeed with us. That’s why we’ve open-sourced our knowledge.

What makes an “impact company”?
1

Must have a 1:1 correlation between sales and impact.

We back startups with impact at the very core of the business model. If you kill the impact, you kill the business.

2

Must contribute towards a social or environmental goal.

And that goal must be measurable and intentional as a company scales.

3

Net positive impact.

It’s not just about doing good, it’s also about not doing bad. We help each of our companies understand and mitigate their adverse impacts.

4

Must aspire to inspire other impact startups.

This is where the companies of tomorrow should be. We only work with founders that want to help create the ripple effect.
