Vine Ventures was founded to address the global mental health crisis by driving the emergence of innovative solutions for mental health and wellbeing. The firm is rethinking venture capital for a novel approach to health and wellness, with a core belief that ‘the two most pressing problems facing humanity are mental health and aging.’ They emphasize investing in ‘constructive not extractive capital’ and seek to create an ethical industry rather than extractive business models. The firm operates smaller funds with niche focus where managers can comprehensively survey their markets, identify outlier founders, and provide contextually valuable support.
