Social Impact Capital

About The Fund

Social Impact Capital is a venture capital firm headquartered in New York, New York. Specializing in minority seed and early-stage impact investments, this firm looks to support companies that not only promise venture returns but also deliver a profound, measurable social impact. They are true generalists in their approach, investing across a broad range of sectors including Education, BioTech, AgroTech, FinTech and Financial Services, Energy, Retail and E-Commerce, CleanTech, HealthTech and Fitness, Blockchain and Cryptos, Web Security and Privacy, Food & Beverage, Impact, Medical Devices and Hospital Services, DeepTech, Healthcare and Wellness, Online Social, Consumer, and Woman Focused industries. However, they are not interested in investing in the AdTech sector or in social networks for dogs. Their investment scope typically lies between $100,000 and $5,000,000, with a sweet spot at $100,000. They have specialties in various stages of a company's growth, including Early, Seed, Series A, and Pre-seed stages. According to their investment philosophy, they exist to fund and support founders working on the grand global challenges rather than 'backyard problems'. They are particularly conscientious in their investment decisions, aiming to be the earliest backers of mission-driven founders until their endeavors are attractive to top-tier venture capitalists. In their Fund I, they have achieved a 69% rate of follow-on investment by top-tier firms and a 100% follow-on rate overall. The firm prides itself on being research-driven and asserts its belief in Khosla's Instigator Hypothesis, which posits that a small number of individuals scaling world-changing technology can solve the world's largest problems. Social Impact Capital's portfolio notably includes innovative ventures such as Totus Medicines, Limelight Steel, Charm Industrial, Voyage Foods, Prometheus Fuels, and Quell. In keeping with their commitment to collaboration, the firm invites engagement and is supported by a team of 41+ global venture partners who assist founders in bending their trajectory of success.
