Tech for good is about practical optimism. It’s about being committed to a problem and ambitious enough to find a solution. It’s about leveraging the functions of business and technology not just for profit, but for people and the planet.

Purpose-driven value isn’t a trend, it’s a paradigm shift. The future is one where businesses that can deliver meaningful and scalable positive outcomes will be the most successful.

We’re not just jumping on the impact bandwagon, we helped build it. Since 2012 we’ve pioneered tech for good. That means our experience and expertise is unrivalled when it comes to building a tech startup with impact at its core.

As the first UK VC to certify as a B Corp, we don’t just care about what we do, but how we do it. Our principles set out our beliefs; our annual impact reports share our progress. We try to be radically transparent to help set better standards for our industry.

We’re often a founder’s first investor and we’re experts at early-stage. Our programme helps you launch your venture and our ongoing platform support helps you grow it. We follow-on invest into our most promising portfolio companies from pre-seed to Series A/B.

Our vision is to significantly improve hundreds of millions of lives. We look for the same ambition in our founders. We invest in businesses where commercial growth means greater positive impact.

The diversity of the people solving the world's biggest challenges needs to reflect the diversity of those they affect. We know that tech for good founders can come from anywhere. We don’t believe in stereotypes or rely on warm intros. Instead we use a fair but rigorous application process.

Problems like the climate crisis, inequality, or poor health. These challenges provide the biggest opportunities for meaningful change and are a huge economic opportunity too. We look for visionary founders committed to creating a sustainable planet, a better society, and healthy lives.
