Pledge Ventures is a rules-based venture capital fund investing in high-growth technology companies whose founders have committed to philanthropy via Founders Pledge. Our partnership with Founders Pledge gives us unique access to some of the best entrepreneurs in the world. We invest in all sorts of businesses providing they are raising $20m or more at Series B or later and where a top-tier investor is participating in the round. We are driven by a dual mission; to drive returns for our investors by building the best index on Series B+ companies in the world, and in turn help fund Founders Pledge by donating the majority of our profit back to them.
