We take a systems approach to humanistic capitalism: we invent, fund, and operate new ventures that deliver above-market returns and drive social impact at scale. Our invention and innovation system is driven by an environment of accelerating change: macro economic cycles that require innovative operating models; technology platform shifts that yield opportunities to create value in new ways; and growing impact needs across multiple areas.

There is an urgency to address systemic societal problems that the current mechanisms of capital, philanthropy, and government are failing to improve. 

The policies of many current administrations are exacerbating societal challenges and breaking norms with potential harmful consequences.

In many countries, a toxic combination of policies and application of emerging technologies are laying the groundwork to exacerbate societal problems. It is clear that for many, intertwined societal challenges are getting worse. Not only are they getting worse they form a Gordion knot. Not only that, there are few models that do good at scale.

There continues to be a structural underinvestment in Education, Healthcare, and Infrastructure. Since core needs are not being met, unfortunately the goal of shared prosperity is becoming more unattainable.

A bold new system is required.

We are a group of systems thinkers, business builders, and technologists with the belief that emerging technologies will have profound implications for society, with the potential to transform industries and improve quality of life. 

We endeavor to build solutions that solve real world problems in a responsible, secure and equitable way. Our ecosystem invents, builds, and funds innovative solutions that address large social challenges and generate return for investors.
