Investment principles
Because we invest with philanthropic dollars, we can make capital work for us rather than the other way around.
We deploy philanthropic capital to high-innovation, high-impact enterprises that shape markets to break the cycle of poverty.
A staggering 5.3 billion people still live in poverty, largely neglected by the marketplace. Philanthropy is critical for Patient Capital, allowing us to take outsized risk for outsized impact so that no one is left behind.
