Sustainable innovation is critical for addressing challenges both locally and globally. At 500 Global, we leverage our history of investing in emerging and nascent markets to support founders who are not only building locally, but developing solutions that are transferable to international markets.
We believe that sustainability is a lens through which a company can be built, in addition to being a sector of its own. We back founders and companies around the world and across industries that demonstrate this approach to solve complex challenges. We find that opportunities exist across agriculture, energy, logistics and mobility, as well as finance, built environment and more.
We believe that sustainability is complementary to commercial viability. It’s our view that profitability is an essential component of building companies that can drive sustainable and long term positive impact.
Our commitment is to support founders who build solutions that scale across borders. Together, we're creating infrastructure for entrepreneurial ecosystems to develop into resilient economies.
