INCO Ventures manages or advises more than €500M of assets to invest in the most promising start-ups and companies that are shaping the new inclusive and sustainable economy, and advises funds on their investments or on impact measurement. Accelerating game-changers of social economy & sustainable development As we are facing widening inequalities and ecological collapse, we believe it is critical to build a more inclusive and more sustainable economy.​ Achieving this vision requires the creation and development of ventures that offer solutions to our current major social and environmental issues, while creating new markets and jobs for tomorrow. To fund these companies, INCO Ventures manages or advises more than €500M to meet their needs, wherever they are located. To its investors, INCO Ventures ensures a triple return on investment: economic, social and environmental, clearly measured using a unique impact assessment tool: INCO Ratings.

A finance anchored in the real world, close to the companies that are making a difference, and creating value for all: citizens, employees, entrepreneurs and investors.

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.

We invest in high growth, early-stage companies that leverage technologies and digitization to create societal benefit, efficiency, and scale aligned with the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. We are a community of founders, operators, and investors with deep domain expertise, diverse networks, and a desire to help innovative companies grow. We look for massive markets that are well-timed and companies with high growth, reasonable valuations, and impact. We will focus on investments from ACTAI Global and Extreme Tech Challenge but not be limited to those communities. Digitization and data science are remaking many industries because they lower friction and usage cost and enable replicability and scalability. Digitization allows for the virtualization of physical assets and more efficient asset utilization. Some of these concepts are eloquently articulated by Bill Tai in a Medium post on “Currency in the 4th Industrial Revolution” from 2018. We also believe technology innovation is borderless, which means great companies can come from anywhere! One of the first companies coming out of the Extreme Tech Challenge was Canva in 2015, which was seeded from the ACTAI Global community. The need for unified and coordinated initiatives to support (primarily digital) innovation as a catalyst for growth within an overarching framework of sustainability has accelerated as economies shift from being based on oil to electrons. We are excited to partner with founders who are making a huge impact and provide them with the social and financial capital they need!
