We make loans and equity investments to further our mission and expand the impact of our grant making programs. Our goal is to foster the advancement of promising technology by investing in early stage, high-risk/high-reward opportunities to attract financially motivated investors and accelerate the developmental pipeline.

We focus our resources solely on opportunities to advance our charitable mission. While we take chances in pursuit of impact, we also seek overall return of principal so we can recycle capital and maximize our long-term effectiveness. Our investments are typically structured as loans and equity investments, and we work with both for-profit and non-profit entities.
