We are a group of systems thinkers, business builders, and technologists who believe emerging technologies can be used to improve lives, strengthen institutions, and solve complex societal problems. In short, emerging technologies for good.
Our Vision: A $5 trillion opportunity
The U.S. GDP is approximately $30 trillion and the annual doing-good sector represents nearly $1 trillion of economic activity. As artificial intelligence, automation, health technology, climate innovation, and other transformative technologies reshape society, the growing demand for sustainable solutions is creating a new category of economic opportunity: Emerging Technologies for Good.
Over time, we believe Emerging Technologies for Good could represent 10–20% of U.S. GDP, creating a market opportunity of approximately $3 trillion to $6 trillion.
The Y Solve ecosystem is building the ventures, capital structures, and innovation systems designed to participate in and help create this approximately $5 trillion opportunity.
Our efforts will codify and translate the concept of
Humanistic Capitalism
into tangible value.
A new ecosystem is required
We invent, build, and fund internally generated solutions that solve real world problems in a responsible, secure, and equitable way.
Through our three-part ecosystem, we create, fund, and deliver solutions that scale. Our model combines venture creation, capital innovation, and impact-sector expansion to change how public benefit companies are built, financed, and brought to market.
Y Solve Lab is a public benefit holding company that creates and builds public benefit companies across nine Areas of Impact: Education, Finance, Future of Work, Government Innovation, Green and Blue Economies, Healthcare, Inclusive Economies, Infrastructure, and Media.
Y Solve Capital, a public benefit company, develops innovative financial solutions to help lower the cost of funding for Y Solve Lab portfolio companies. In addition, Capital brings Thematic Impact Investing with the rigor of institutional portfolio construction and management to impact investors.
Y Solve Foundry, a nonprofit, uses Y Solve Lab portfolio company products and services to deliver innovative solutions to nonprofits, universities, cities, agencies, and other mission-driven institutions.
From innovation to impact: How the Y Solve Ecosystem creates the $5 trillion opportunity
Our system is our edge.
Humanistic Capitalism recognizes that today's social and economic challenges are accelerating faster than current systems of capital, philanthropy, and government can respond.
Inter-connected societal challenges
It is clear that for many, intertwined societal challenges are getting worse. Not only that, they form a Gordian Knot (a metaphor for incredibly complex, intractable problems). Our model does good at scale.
Our Key Insight: There is persistent structural under-investment in the core systems people depend on most — education, healthcare, infrastructure, and economic opportunity.
We drive multiple return
The Y Solve Ecosystem creates value in three ways: financial return, measurable social impact, and increased doing good sector capacity. We scale social impact and generate financial return which anchor our key metric – RoII (return on impact investment). These are our year 7 targets: multiples are on a per dollar invested basis.
