Investment thesis
Operated by Goldwin (marketed as Goldwin Play Earth Fund / Goldwin Venture Partners), the fund pursues a vision of designing 'play' into everyday life so people can live richer, healthier lives. It backs startups across three focus areas: Fashion & Sports (technologies and services that keep an apparel/sports maker innovating), Future & Community (technologies serving children, local society, and communities), and Global Environment (technologies enabling a beautiful planet where people and nature coexist). Its portfolio emphasizes textile recycling, sustainable materials, and circular-economy innovation.
