Investment Thesis

Collaborative Fund backs entrepreneurs pushing the world forward by identifying and supporting companies that live at the intersection of for-profit and for-good. Their core investment philosophy balances impact with financial returns, aiming to outpace the market while creating positive change. They employ ‘The Villain Test’ - asking whether a purely self-interested investor would back a company - to identify opportunities that succeed both commercially and as forces for good.
