Thrive Lab for Women

We believe supporting women-led businesses who seek to create positive social outcomes will bring meaningful change and positive returns. We are equally committed to building a community of investment partners who share our ambition to increase access to investment capital for women changemakers. Working with like-minded partners, we will invest in women-led impact-driven companies with promising business models and support them in pursuing their growth.

Be the change

The Thrive Lab will provide $100 million in equity and equity-like investments to women-led businesses. These companies seek to make a social impact that is tied to the UN Sustainable Development Goals such as food security and responsible agriculture, health and well-being, education, reduced inequalities, and responsible consumption and production.

How the Lab works

As a collaborative Lab, we work with 25 co-investment partners who are responsible to source, pre-qualify and recommend women led business for us to invest in.

Working with these partners, every company we invest in will be well supported with capital, resources, and mentors, dedicated to help them grow and achieve their impact goals.

Our goal is to innovate, experiment, and adapt to expand the capital available in the marketplace for women-led businesses making a difference.
