Triple Impact Capital (TIC) is an early stage venture capital fund investing in startups driving returns + positive environmental and social impact. The fund’s goal is to maximize investment returns and is often the first institutional capital into startups that we believe will be category leaders in the areas of Climate, Health and Society. We have already distributed proceeds from our first exit from our vintage year 2021 Fund I and, to date, 70% of our Fund I portfolio companies have received follow-on investments from leading firms including Andreessen Horowitz, Khosla, General Catalyst and Founder Collective. I am proud to be partnering with my former classmate from grad school, Justin Smithline, a 3X entrepreneur that has invested in over 100 seed-stage startups as a Partner at ERA, the most active fund and accelerator in New York City.
