Alberts Impact 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.

We shape the future through Impact Innovation. One of the Youngest GPs in Europe With the GPs of the fund being the youngest in Europe, we have the advantage of being able to rethink investment processes and stay more connected to founders. This allows us to bring a fresh perspective to the table and make informed investment decisions. Invest in Social & Environmental Impact We invest in people that drive positive change to boost impact beyond returns. We carefully select founders and companies with sustainable business ideas we ensure economic, environmental, and social growth. Empower Gender Parity Parity is profitable. Now, we prove that it is possible. Our commitment to investing in 50% female founders and raising capital from 50% female investors is unlocking immense potential in terms of impact and economic value.

We invest in companies with the intention to generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside a favorable financial return. The goal is to have at least 50% of female-founded projects in our portfolio.

The promise of technology is to bring social mobility to life, creating better conditions for humanity as well as democratizing access to services, capital and well being. We are passionate about using technology for making the world a better place and creating alpha by investing in companies that are moving the needle giving access to capital, better employment opportunities or financial inclusion. For investors that want to participate in getting alpha by creating a better world Alpha Impact 8 Ventures was created.

It is time for a new paradigm. Technology and business needs to be in service to humanity, not the other way around. We invest in entrepreneurs and early stage companies that are creating ways to… Nurture human connection, not division. Help heal our addictions, not create and profit from them. Enable us to live more mindfully, not be a source of distraction. Support equality and social justice, not economic and social division. We are currently raising our first fund. If you are an accredited investor who wants to be a part of the fund, let us know.
