Radicle Impact

Radicle Impact is an Oakland, California-based impact investment firm established in 2013, co-founded by prominent figures such as former eBay president Jeff Skoll and former Gap CEO Bob Fisher. The firm is dedicated to a "double bottom line" approach, investing in early-stage companies where financial success is intrinsically linked to the creation of meaningful social and environmental value. Their investment philosophy centers on identifying and nurturing enterprises that offer innovative solutions to pressing global challenges while also demonstrating strong commercial viability.

The firm successfully raised $50 million for its inaugural fund, signaling a significant commitment to the impact investing landscape. With this capital, Radicle Impact aims to build a diversified portfolio, typically planning to invest in 15 to 20 companies. Their strategic focus spans various sectors, including clean technology, sustainable food systems, and financial inclusion, all aimed at fostering a more equitable and sustainable future.

Radicle Impact's typical initial investment check sizes range from $1 million to $3 million, targeting companies at the seed to Series A stages. This allows them to provide crucial early-stage capital to ventures poised for significant growth and impact. Their portfolio includes notable companies such as Aspiration, a sustainable financial services platform, and Imperfect Foods, a company focused on reducing food waste. The firm's hands-on approach and strategic guidance aim to help these companies scale their operations and amplify their positive societal and environmental contributions.
