Why partners choose us:
De-risking innovation
Our phased investment approach allows us to test early, iterate fast, and prepare bold ideas for scale and sustainability. We’ve also proven that we can deploy public funds responsibly and deliver impact, over 1,500 unique innovations, multiple independent evaluations and 15 years.
Catalytic risks
From AI in maternal health to clean energy in conflict zones, we’re willing to take catalytic risks and work with our innovators on their journey to impact at scale.
Leverage + full capital stack
For every $1 from our anchor funder, we’ve leveraged $2.42 — helping innovations attract the co-funding and attention they need. We take equity positions, warrants, issue debt and provide grants.
More than just funding
We invest in solutions that combine business, social, and technological approaches — and provide more than just funding: venture advisory, systems-level support, and strategic partnerships. We do this by having real domain expertise and partners around the world so that we are funding the right innovations with real potential for impact. We co-create with governments, blend capital with philanthropies, and learn alongside the innovators we support.
Rigour matters
We take incredible care to understand the impact potential of our investments. That is in part because we are publicly funded and we take that responsibility seriously. It’s also because we want to set innovators up for success. Rigour matters.
Let’s connect
We aim to reach 750 million people by 2035. Let’s build the path together. Join us.
Our team is ready to discuss how we can work together to amplify your impact through innovation.
