We target visionary entrepreneurs tackling the world’s most pressing challenges. 

 

As Europe’s leading co-investment fund for impact ventures, we partner with visionary entrepreneurs tackling the world’s most pressing challenges. From climate resilience to social equity, we invest where impact and financial returns go hand in hand.

With this fresh breeze of capital, we want to enable

impact ventures to create social and environmental impact at scale.

 

It’s all about driving systemic change

At Catalytic Impact Partners, we invest in deeply interconnected sectors that don’t just create impact in isolation — they drive systemic change. We recognize that Today’s world challenges don’t exist in silos — neither should their solutions.

Education fuels employment and environmental protection; good health improves productivity and quality of life; sustainable food systems and climate change adaptation safeguards the future of all industries and communities. And many any other interdependencies …

By investing at these intersections, we amplify cross impacts, create lasting value, and contribute to the construction of an equitable and sustainable world. By partnering with impact-driven co-investors, we multiply outcomes, drive sustainable returns, and accelerate systemic transformation.

What’s important for us

We invest in bold ideas, visionary teams, and solutions that make a lasting difference. Our selection is guided by three essential features:

  • Real impact – ventures must generate measurable and meaningful social or environmental change, tackling urgent global challenges.
  • Scalability & growth potential – we seek solutions that go beyond isolated success — ideas that can scale, inspire change, and transform industries.
  • Driven & capable teams – we back founders who not only have a mission-driven mindset but also the expertise and resilience to turn ambition into reality.
