We helped pioneer impact investing in early-stage technology companies more than a decade ago. Since then, we have consistently been ahead of market trends, from the explosion of education technology to placing diversity at the core of our thesis, and we were one of the earliest practitioners of gender lens investing.

Our approach marries a focus on scaling businesses with a relentless focus on impact. Our capital is an accelerant that helps best in class companies to deliver their solutions to the market quickly and intentionally while delivering risk-adjusted returns.

We combine deep operating experience with investing acumen that spans public and private markets. Each of our strategies is led by domain experts whose thesis is shaped by their unique vision of the future. By calling upon expansive networks of advisors, strategics, and policy makers, we work to shape positive outcomes for our portfolio. Our thoughtful approach to partnering with founders for shared success consistently sets us apart in a crowded market.

We believe in investing in leaders who deeply understand the complex problems their businesses are tackling. It’s no surprise, then, that more than 52% of companies we’ve backed have a woman founder, and 38% have a founder of color.
