Able Partners

About

We aim to support passionate entrepreneurs building visionary brands in positive living that will make the daily lives of consumers healthier, happier and more meaningful.

We seek to partner with companies that are narrowing The Wellness Gap: the quantifiable delta that has grown dramatically over the past two decades as economic indicators such as GDP per capita have increased while measures of overall wellbeing, including physical and mental health, have stagnated or decreased.

We are most focused on overlooked or stigmatized communities that have resulted in underserved markets. These are the areas where we see opportunity:

  • Disruptive Healthcare
  • Care Economy
  • Consumer Wellbeing
  • Connection & Community

With a particular interest in the following demographics:

Women Immigrants Caregivers Aging Adults Gen Z

NEXT VENTŪRES

We believe that these solutions cover a wide spectrum that includes the optimization of physical, mental, social and financial wellness, serving as the core components that will undergird the conscious, communal shift toward a healthier future. Our primary goal is to empower passionate founders who develop innovative ideas that impact all bodies. We're investing in more than just potential, we’re doubling down on the endless realm of human potential. With efficiency in mind, we like to spend our first meeting getting to understand the founder(s) first. Your first conversation may be with one of our Partners or investors. Each member of our team has a voice and it's respected at the table. After that conversation, we huddle to connect the dots, reflect on your story and think. From there we spend time with information shared and will come back with deeper questions that move the relationship forward. These are not questions to occupy your inbox, but questions formulated on our path to deep conviction. HEALTH Healthcare has reached an inflection point. The landscape is rapidly shifting towards value based care, deep personalization, and an endless appetite for connected data that will forever change the way we communicate with health providers, our families and ourselves. WELLNESS The wellness industry is a $4.5T opportunity, as more consumers seek to reduce their healthcare costs while exploring ways to be healthier and happier across physical, mental, social and spiritual dimensions of their lives. We seek innovative companies using technology to deliver benefits that are meaningful, measurable and scalable. TECHNOLOGY Software will continue to impact the world in ways never imagined. We're firm in our belief of embracing technology as the conduit for optimization. Innovative applications and connected hardware will continue to change behaviors, augment processes and provide stable infrastructure to advance the world's capabilities. STAGE & CHECK SIZE Our funding decisions are made by consensus. There will always be an internal deal champion that will serve as your lead investor. We practice a rigorous diligence process that can sometimes be complex or very swift - but we typically are able to gather the information we need in 2 weeks or less, once we've aligned on our potential partnership. It's our obligation to earn your trust and build on our relationship. To that end we run a transparent process, with no "GOTCHA" moments. We will work closely with the founder(s) to determine our entry point that makes sense. We are hands-on investors, we set out with a 90 day action plan to be additive at the outset. Stage: Seed-Series A Size: $500K-$3MM Fund Size: $50M As the capital landscape continues to evolve, we remain flexible to understand the specific needs of the entrepreneur. We have a framework that directs our investing. In order for us to spend dedicated time with our founders, we target 6-8 investments per year. These companies typically have a working prototype product getting user feedback or generating revenue, approaching product market fit. On occasion, we invest in exceptional teams at the concept level.

Pivotal Ventures

Pivotal Ventures (“Pivotal”) is an investment and incubation company created by Melinda French Gates. We partner, invest, and advocate to remove barriers that hold people back, concentrating on areas where progress and opportunity have stalled for millions of Americans. The pursuit of a more equal and equitable United States - not just for some of us, but for everyone - is what drives us forward. It's the why behind every problem we tackle. We approach partnership with big ambitions and open minds, embracing what’s already working and innovating beyond traditional philanthropy. Some areas we focus on: women in technology and innovation; Women in public office; women and girls of color; adolescent mental health; paid family and medical leave; and caregiving. Inspired by our founder, we reach across communities and sectors to bring together changemakers who can scale up proven ideas and catalyze new ones. We learn from their experiences, amplify their resources, then step back so they can lead. Our impatience with the status quo is fueled by an optimism that progress is always possible.
