We deliver impact
on a global scale.
Our society and the global economy have reached a decisive moment in time. We face unprecedented challenges—but we also have a huge opportunity to tackle them and build solutions that truly matter.
So far, our 34 portfolio companies are leading the way by addressing 15 UN SDGs and 7 Planetary Boundaries.
And there is so much more work to be done.
What really matters to us
We focus on addressing pressing societal issues in four areas of impact:
Redefining
Healthcare
Improving our exhausted healthcare systems by using novel technologies to advance treatment options and solve structural inefficiencies.
Educational
Empowerment
Providing access to quality education as well as shaping the future of work (e.g. supporting families through affordable child care and lifelong skills).
Sustainability Transformation
Reducing the negative effects of climate change and globalisation. Enabling the broadest possibilities and best quality of life for future generations.
Equitable Humanity
Rethinking every aspect of our daily lives, from fair finance to employment, and promoting a more equal, inclusive and peaceful society.
We are different. Unlike traditional VC funds, our approach is to proactively search for, and select, the most outstanding impact businesses tackling major world issues.
We always measure
We strongly believe that impact investing isn’t worthy of the name unless it is properly measured. As such, we bring more than a decade of impact measurement expertise to the equation, helping companies to set up impact KPIs and targets that are business-driven.

Our ‘Impact Carry’ model
As mission-driven as our founders, their impact targets become our own. We want to invest into impactful companies — with no trade-off between revenue and impact. We take this so seriously that we even link our compensation to achieving this goal.
This guarantees that there is no trade-off between revenue and impact. The formula is simple: more revenue equals more impact. *
