Thesis:

Ventures today have an unprecedented opportunity to redefine how our world works.

The intersection of disruptive innovation with our need to transition towards a more just, sustainable, and resilient future creates an unprecedented scope of opportunity for venture to address. The best of those companies will have a transformative effect on how the world works.

We look for founders working at these intersections to create societal innovations that increase wellbeing and sustainability by leveraging technology, platforms, and networks. Within that thesis, we track narratives and hotspots of societal innovation. Currently, those include:

• The Transition Economy: Accelerating decarbonization, adaptation, and a climate-compatible future.
• The Cooperation Economy: Accelerating collaboration and the mutualization of ownership, wealth, and value creation.
