Investment Thesis
Giant Leap believes that visionary founders can reimagine industries and create transformational change by solving the world’s most pressing problems. The firm operates on the core conviction that ‘investment and impact go hand in hand’ and that ‘the biggest social and environmental problems present the greatest opportunities for the next generation of high-performing, sustainable businesses.’ They demonstrate that purpose and profit can thrive together, with impact embedded as a lock in their business models where revenue and impact are inextricably linked and drive each other forward.
