Seed what matters. ​Scale for legacy.

Powering redemptive progress through growth and investment strategies.
Picture

Your most ambitious ​goals are possible.

The inventors and innovators of past and present swim against a current that says, “That can’t be done.” Even the iconic inventor Leonardo da Vinci saw resistance to his work throughout his lifetime, yet he had a hand in the creation of helicopters, cars, and diving equipment. Every single day, leaders and organizations dare to pursue ambitious goals and seemingly unrealizable dreams. We wake up everyday asking, “How might we amplify their ambitions?” We dare to optimistically dream that your loftiest goals are truly possible, because we’ve done it before.
Our Approach

We bring the power of advice, capital, and hard work under one roof.

Our consulting teams are in it with you

Our investments bring overflowing shalom

​Most impact investors handcuff their portfolio companies by enforcing their own impact goals. You deserve an investment partner who believes in your ability to bring about overflowing and abundant goodness in your words, not ours.

We invest in businesses that provide a path to generational wealth. With over 300 full-time employees, Pureflow in Uganda has provided a path to ownership for over 5,000 members of their lease-to-own boda boda motorcycle business.

We invest in businesses that love their neighbor. When the war in Ukraine broke out, our friends at Uniqa in Moldova closed their factory and met their neighbors at the border, providing food, clothing, and housing to refugees.​
