Notley is an Austin-based band of relentless changemakers combating issues across multiple cause areas. Since 2015, Notley has provided the creative space and resources necessary to make the most impact in our communities. Through the use of magnetic risk capital, we work to bridge the gap of collaboration between for-profits and nonprofits to solve problems quicker. Our team of relentless changemakers’ work is inspired by our Core Values: Agility, Fearlessness, Integrative, Creativity, and Respect. Notley challenges the status quo with new models in communities across the nation, including Austin, Columbus, Denver, Philadelphia, and San Antonio. Together, we instigate outsized impacts. Part of Notley’s changemakers’ work includes for-profit investments that Notley makes directly through Notley Ventures along with Notley’s affiliation with Springdale Ventures. Springdale Ventures, founded in 2019, invests in and supports early-stage consumer product companies and manages relationships with hundreds of investors and industry partners. Its mission is to partner with passionate, resolute, founders to accelerate the growth of transformative consumer brands.

The internet has revolutionised our world. We exist to ensure that the ongoing tech revolution delivers positive and equitable social impact: that when our lives are transformed by tech, they are transformed for the better. Established as the Corporate Foundation of Nominet in 2008, the Trust became independent and formed a new strategic partnership with Social Investment Business in May 2018. Now known as Social Tech Trust, the charity continues to provide grant funding and support to organisations that use tech to transform lives. Since 2008 the charity has supported over 750 socially motivated initiatives in the UK, providing more than £31m of funding to drive change with tech.

Our mission is to empower entrepreneurs to do immense good. We approach this mission with a deep understanding of the sector – Founders Pledge was built for and by entrepreneurs, and launched out of Founders Forum, Europe's foremost network of digital and technology entrepreneurs. Our board members, advisors, sponsors and funders include some of the most influential voices in the tech sector and social sector.

Our starting point is people, putting them at the forefront and making innovation truly work for their benefit. We harness the social power of technology to reach even those who are most marginalized. We ensure that the innovation we build for one market is globally ready as a high-growth venture. We designed our innovation stack to be 70% reusable and replicable elsewhere and in many other applications to leverage standardized methods, common IPs or expertise.

We invest in impact-focused enterprises throughout Latin America led by committed and diverse teams eager to offer solutions that help improve the world we live in. We scale innovative businesses tackling the most pressing social challenges to unleash their potential through capacity building support. We connect the dots to spark innovation, scale impact and build a purpose driven community that seeks to reinvent the way of doing business. We advise and offer tailor made, end-to-end impact solutions for corporations, governments, multilaterals, IFIs, institutional investors and other changemaking organizations seeking to raise funding, invest at scale in projects and optimize their impact performance. We innovate, adjusting solutions to different contexts and socio-environmental issues, to deliver both financial returns and highest impact, with integrity - supporting our partners from design stage to execution, through the structuring of policies and vehicles to the raising and deployment of capital.
