Using a rules-based approach, we're building a global portfolio of growth stage companies whose founders have pledged to give. Through our partnership with Founders Pledge, we have unique access to exceptional founders and high quality companies, with a well-established community of 2000+ members in 40 countries.
Our mission is to offer uncompromised benefits: outsized returns for LPs, and charitable funding for Founders Pledge as they empower the non-profits making the biggest difference in the world.
What makes us unique:
Pledge Ventures was designed as a new economic engine for Founders Pledge. We donate 85% of carried interest and up to 50% of annual management fees to the charity.
Our strategy guides us to find the best deals, and investments are driven by a set of rules:

Top-tier VC participating in the round
Co-investing with leading funds allows us to benefit from their expertise, and ensures we’re participating in the most promising deals.

Raising $20M+ in Series B or beyond
We focus exclusively on late-stage rounds to target exceptional businesses at the point of scaling.

Founder is a member of Founders Pledge
Unique access to high-growth companies allows us to participate in highly-competitive and oversubscribed rounds.
We aim to invest in every company meeting these criteria.
We’re lucky to be supported by a voluntary Investment Committee of seasoned experts who help us size our tickets. The committee is chaired by Andreas Haug, Founding Partner of leading global venture fund Headline. Headline supported the development of Pledge Ventures, bringing a twenty year pedigree to a maiden fund.
