Investment Thesis

Rubio is an impact venture fund that partners with world-changing entrepreneurs building companies where profit and purpose combine for maximum impact. They believe the future’s most valuable businesses will be tackling humanity’s biggest headaches, and they’re committed to playing the long game with a long-term perspective rather than short-term gains. Their core belief is that success in impact VC is driven by equally ambitious impact and financial goals, with impact and returns being inseparable rather than competing priorities.
