SustainVC

SustainVC operates as a venture capital firm, managing a series of early-stage impact investment funds. The firm provides equity investments to innovative entrepreneurs whose businesses aim to achieve both financial returns and positive social and environmental impact. Its core approach involves identifying and backing companies where the inherent business model is intrinsically linked to its social mission, ensuring sustained positive influence.

The firm was founded in 2007 by a group of partners who identified a nascent opportunity in early-stage impact investing. Among its key figures is Schuyler Lance, who has been instrumental in shaping SustainVC's investment thesis. This foundational insight centered on the belief that purposeful investment could drive meaningful change by empowering businesses designed from their inception to be forces for good.

SustainVC targets early-stage impact companies and their founders, seeking to partner with those who envision a more sustainable, equitable, and healthier global community. The firm's long-term vision is to demonstrate that market-rate returns can be achieved through strategic investments in businesses committed to positive societal outcomes, thereby fostering a robust ecosystem for impact-driven enterprises.
