Investment thesis
Unreasonable operates on the belief that business and finance can drive lasting, scalable change and that solving the world's hardest problems is both a moral imperative and a financial opportunity. It hand-picks growth-stage entrepreneurs whose impact is embedded in their profit model into an invite-only, lifelong Fellowship, then connects them with mentors, institutional partners, and investors. The firm aligns capital with ventures operating at the nexus of profit and impact, positioning itself as a curated deal-flow engine of high-growth companies solving societal and ecological problems. It concentrates on five verticals: energy and environment, food and water, health, learning and education, and new frontiers/emerging markets and technologies.
