About

Capital for an economy that respects planetary limits.

Some generations have built cathedrals. Some have navigated across oceans and expanded the frontiers of the known world. Others have had to rebuild war-torn continents.

Our generation’s greatest challenge is equally immense: to create an economic system that respects the planet’s limits, and overcome the ecological crisis.

If we are to rise to the challenge, we're going to have to innovate. In a radical way.

This means taking risks - carefully considered, never unnecessary, ones.

Having the courage to take the long view once again.

Rewriting the rules of economic activity from the ground up, by standing alongside those who recognize that the greatest ambition of all lies in finding alternative means to create wealth.

Our mission is to support the entrepreneurs who are repairing the world - from the very beginning of their journey, and with no time limit on our commitment.

How? By bringing together a broad and diverse community of first-rate investors, and steering the flow of capital to where it is most likely to make a difference.

One sector at a time, one start-up at a time, thereby increasing the number of tipping points.

Allowing what will save us to thrive in the face of overwhelming adversity.

So that we can finally initiate the systemwide transformational change which all of us are calling for, without always knowing where to start.
