Investment thesis
Good Ventures aims to help humanity thrive by accelerating progress, reducing suffering, and mitigating the greatest risks to a flourishing world. It selects causes based on importance, neglectedness, and tractability, directing grants toward areas where additional funding is expected to have the biggest impact. Rather than maintaining a large in-house staff, the foundation works through trusted partners: Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy) serves as its primary philanthropic advisor, helping choose causes, make grants, and pool resources, while GiveWell has guided global health and development giving. Its work spans life-saving health programs in the world's poorest communities, breakthrough scientific research, and expanding economic opportunity in the U.S. and abroad.
