Prevent Pandemics with the Pandemic Impact Fund
$1 million will allow us to invest in companies that detect, prevent, mitigate, respond and create social and economic resilience for this, and future pandemics.
The Pandemic Impact Fund is excited to offer a leveraged, philanthropic option to donors through a Donor Advised Fund (DAF). By donating part or all of your designated contribution to the Pandemic Impact DAF, which invests it in the Pandemic Impact Venture Capital Fund,
If you're unfamiliar with Donor Advised Funds, they are 501c3 organizations that invest capital in impact projects. The capital creates good in the world through the investments, and the returns come back to the DAF up to three times the original donation which you may then designate to your favorite charitable causes.
The world is a decade behind in preparing for pandemics. The Pandemic Impact Fund is investing in innovative early stage startups that are creating solutions to mitigate this pandemic while creating long-term solutions for the prevention and mitigation of future pandemics.
Investment Thesis – What We’re Not
Not a Relief Fund
The Fund is not a “relief” fund. We don’t provide funding to distressed communities. In line with our investment thesis, we like companies that have truly innovative, differentiated, and defensible offerings. We look for huge market potential and the ability to deliver upper quartile returns. Visit our Portfolio page to view example companies at www.pandemicimpactfund.com.
Not Just Healthcare
The Pandemic Impact Fund invests well beyond healthcare. We seek opportunities that help:
Find pandemics faster such as surveillance, testing, GIS and population health
Fix it faster such as drug development platforms, medical devices for drug delivery, and telemedicine
Make work, work or life work for that matter, such as disinfection technologies, remote collaboration tools, teleconnection, robotics, cybersecurity, and EDtech
Do better next time such as supply chain, process and manufacturing resilience, communication, and food security.
We are a seasoned team of impact investors providing the opportunity for others to create leveraged positive outcomes in the world with their philanthropic investments.
