IMPACT INVESTMENTS
OUR INVESTEES ARE INDUSTRY-LEADING
Disruptive innovation. Social change. Improving lives. Global scalability. Gifted people. Accelerated growth. These are just a few of the terms which characterise our investees: each and every one of which is a start-up or early-stage venture which has been carefully selected for the disruptive nature of its concept and the talent of the team behind it. Operating in sectors which range from medtech and biotech to greentech and fintech, every investee in our portfolio is there for one reason and one reason only: its world-class, industry- changing potential to improve lives across the world.
OUR INVESTORS HAVE A SHARED VISION
Our investees are exceptional. And so are our investors. Together, they share a vision of the future; a vision which recognises that, if society is to survive in the long term, it must change in the short term. And the ideas of our investees will fuel that change.
As a result, our investors are part of something far greater than just the introduction of a new consumer convenience; they are part of something which is fueling real and positive change: something which will, ultimately, help society survive. This, in itself, is a reward for their vision and commitment.
But there is also a bonus – and a big one: our investors see returns that far exceed those of traditional VCs.
WE DELIVER POSITIVE SOCIAL IMPACT AND EXCEPTIONAL RETURNS
To clarify; we are committed to changing the world for the better: helping to deliver generational social improvement.
But we are also about delivering exceptional returns. Unlike conventional VCs, who rely on wide portfolios to deliver moderate returns, we deploy a highly-refined investee selection and support strategy to deliver truly outstanding returns. In fact, we set such a high threshold for selection from the pool of opportunities that only one in ten thousand applicants are ultimately selected. That is because we only invest in innovative, highly-scalable concepts which meet strict ESG criteria and have the potential for massive social impact. Together with the controls we put in place, this approach results in outstanding returns.
As an investor with Fortunis you have the best of both worlds: generational positive social impact coupled with superb returns.
WE OFFER UNSURPASSED LEVELS OF SUPPORT
At Fortunis, investees do not operate in isolation: they become part of an ecosystem of interconnected offerings all designed to encourage growth, enhance social impact and maximise returns.
For this reason, we encourage all companies in our portfolio to explore synergies and work together where appropriate. From Apps creating hybrid offerings which double social exposure and increase downloads, to Fintech start-ups sharing strategy and trade links, we help to grow a network of trusted partnerships and support for our concepts to evolve in together.
It is also why, in contrast to the common ‘invest and step back’ approach, we actively manage every investee in our portfolio by providing ongoing support at all levels from our own extensive resource of management expertise and experience. This close involvement in the governance of our investees mitigates risk and maximises returns, providing stability through the earliest growth stages of a business.
OUR FUNDING OPTIONS STIMULATE GROWTH FROM DAY ONE
Even the most brilliant of ideas have to start somewhere. And in their embryonic stages, many are not ready for investment.
This is yet another way in which Fortunis stands out from the crowd. Unlike other VCs, we make a range of growth finance options available to our investees, such as our excellent VC programme and low-interest Research and Development lending. This protects our entrepreneurs from having to surrender large amounts of equity at an early stage, while providing them with full support to complete the viability phase of their development and prepare for commercial application.
OUR TEAM IS COMMITTED TO POSITIVE SOCIAL CHANGE
Wherever you find an exceptional business, you will find exceptional people.
This is certainly true of our investees. And it is also true of Fortunis itself. Every member of the Fortunis team is not merely highly experienced in the world of investment and business management, but they are highly driven too, with a lifelong commitment to the improvement of society.
It is this commitment to driving positive social change that makes Fortunis what it is: different.
