Impact Enterprise Fund

CLOSED
Written By New Ground Capital

Investing for profit and a social conscience don’t need to be mutually exclusive – on the contrary, profits and positive impact increasingly go hand-in-hand.

Which is why we co-founded NZ’s first domestically focussed impact fund, the Impact Enterprise Fund, investing in for-profit businesses that also seek to generate meaningful, measurable and scalable social or environmental impacts.

 

The original Impact Enterprise Fund is now closed to new investors, but if you would like information on our new follow-on fund, the New Ground Impact Enterprise Fund, contact us or Roy Thompson directly on 021 783 043.

 

WHAT INVESTING IN THIS FUND MEANT

The Impact Enterprise Fund successfully demonstrated that sufficient high quality and profitable impact investment opportunities exist in NZ, so New Ground is now founding a second fund to scale the impact outcomes, with ongoing involvement from the Ākina Foundation and Impact Ventures, the New Ground Impact Enterprise Fund.
