About this grant
VOX Capital is a Brazilian multi-strategy impact investment platform that seeks to align financial returns with positive social and environmental outcomes. Its Corporate Venture Capital programme connects large corporations with impact-focused startups, accelerating the innovation ecosystem with intentionality and financial return. VOX develops and operates investment theses aligned to its corporate partners' business strategies and to the systemic challenges of the future, such as financial inclusion, climate transition, health, education, and bioeconomy. The broader venture capital strategy encompasses flagship funds under the 'Tech for Good' thesis, which invests in frontier-technology companies dedicated to solving real societal and planetary problems, measuring impact through a proprietary globally recognised methodology. Impact is considered core to the business model, not an accessory, and all investment decisions are guided by four pillars: risk, return, liquidity, and impact.
