Investment Thesis

Sorenson Impact Institute operates on the belief that social and environmental impact need not come at the expense of financial return. They advocate for ‘venture capital with vision,’ where purposefully deployed private capital can create measurable social and environmental impact while generating positive, risk-adjusted financial returns. The Institute is rooted in expanding the market for impact investing and believes that traditional philanthropic and government organizations alone cannot adequately fund solutions to pressing global challenges.
