Risk warning: Don't invest unless you're prepared to lose all your money invested. This is a high risk investment. You could lose all the money you invest and are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong.

Pledge Ventures is a rules-based venture fund investing across sectors and geographies into high-growth technology companies whose founders have committed to philanthropy via Founders Pledge. Through Founders Pledge, we have differentiated access to some of the best entrepreneurs in the world and will use this unfair advantage to get a slice of competitive rounds that are otherwise inaccessible to others. Pledge Ventures' goal is to drive returns for LPs and accelerate the non-profit mission of Founders Pledge by donating 85% of GP carry and up to 50% of our management fee to charity.

Pledge Ventures is driven by a dual mission, to drive returns for LPs and power the charitable work of Founders Pledge. From the outset, we envisaged a fundamentally different type of VC, one where profit and purpose could co-exist harmoniously. Much of the hard work is still ahead of us but we've come a long way in the last months, and making our first donation to Founders Pledge is an exciting indication that this model can work!

A big thanks to the team at Headline for helping us to get here, as well as our amazing LPs, portfolio companies and Investment Committee!
