Serious Change

Serious Change Investments functions as an impact venture capital fund, strategically deploying capital to foster visionary companies. The firm concentrates private investments in for-profit entities dedicated to significant social and environmental missions. Its portfolio targets ventures in developing regions, green manufacturing, fair trade, sustainable finance, and ethical food systems, pursuing both financial returns and measurable societal impact.

Joshua Mailman established Serious Change Investments, stemming from his 1981 discussions on leveraging inherited wealth for social good. Influenced by his philanthropic father, Joseph L. Mailman, Mailman became a foundational figure in impact investing. He notably co-founded the Social Venture Network, establishing the guiding ethos for his later investment endeavors.

The fund supports various companies, advancing impactful ideas from the periphery to mainstream adoption, particularly those empowering underserved communities. Serious Change Investments’ overarching vision demonstrates that profitable business models can simultaneously address critical global social and environmental challenges.
