OUR TENETS:
IMPACT
FIRST
We invest exclusively in companies where the enterprise's financial success is contingent upon the successful achievement of mission-aligned outcomes.
CATALYTIC
CAPITAL
We provide patient, expert investment capital to mission-oriented startups to de-risk and better position them for traditional venture markets and broader impact.
CHANGE
at SCALE
We support models and technologies that have not only the potential to directly reach millions, but the potential to provide critical proof points that spark policy and systems change at scale.
ELEVATE the
ECOSYSTEM
We strive to uplift not just our portfolio companies, but to create programming, standards, and collisions that elevate the quality of founders, technologies, and Investors across a sector.
DIVERSITY
MATTERS
We believe diversity of race, background, and experiences is a major value driver, particularly when diverse founders possess lived expertise and represent the populations they seek to serve.
REINVESTMENT
of PROFITS
We pursue close-to-market returns that will be reinvested in perpetuity to sustain future philanthropic endeavors.
