Social Impact. Scaled Up.VentureScale was founded in 2013 as one of the first 50 Social Purpose Corporations in the state of Washington. Our purpose is to accelerate the sustainable growth of social ventures. We measure growth in both financial terms and social benefit impacts. Working with organizations across the for-profit and non-profit sectors, we do not advocate one structure over another, but instead, focus on the underlying principles that make any endeavor successful. We believe business should be a catalytic force for addressing the challenges our communities and world face each day. Gauging the success of a business strictly by evaluating standard bottom-line profit is not enough. Maximizing shareholder value and evaluating overall contributions must include social and environmental returns in addition to financial returns. We also believe an infusion of business practices and principles is vital to the overall success of non-profits throughout the world. Ideally, “non-profits” do generate more income than expenses and use that surplus to further the mission. The distinction is that a “for profit” business is most often expected to distribute the surplus to the owners. Our Vision is a thriving impact ecosystem that enables social ventures to mature through each stage of organizational life-cycle leading to a strong and vibrant impact economy.
