Investing to build a better world together.

As growth investors, we partner with entrepreneurs who must overcome unequal access to opportunity everyday. Through these partnerships, we help them break through to achieve sustainable growth. In turn, we work them to bring progress towards our sustainability goals in addressing growing inequality, climate change, and governance.

By incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance considerations into our investment and decision making process, we aim to make investments that advance common prosperity in our society and beyond.
