We are not your typical venture capitalists.
Instead, we are leaders at the intersection of business, capital, government, academia, entrepreneurship, technology, and public policy.
We are pioneering a new way to grow companies and economies: by focusing on innovation ecosystems, or what we call Rainforests. We have unique skills to build killer companies, manage venture funds in new markets, and build innovation ecosystems to drive value creation. Our sectors of expertise range widely across many sectors, from hardware to software, biomedical to cleantech, mining to water. Our fresh ideas to stimulate growth are at the forefront of economic and business thinking today.
