Investment thesis
PurposeTech invests at the earliest stage, backing founders in their very first rounds across health, climate, and the future of work. The founding team is central to its investment decision, with product and revenue considered secondary. The fund provides several hours of weekly support to founders, using a structured, evidence-based, and transparent approach to help them reach traction for their next round. Through its partnership with Impact Hub, it offers access to a broad network of entrepreneurs, experts, and decision-makers. It often co-invests alongside generalist funds, contributing deep domain expertise. Founders deemed not yet investment-ready may be invited into a free Pre-Investment Program.
