Good Capital (GoodCap) is an R+D firm and a boutique fund manager whose core purpose is to accelerate the flow of capital to good by enabling institutions and high net worth individuals and families to invest into a broad array of social purpose strategies with strong business fundamentals. We work across the social capital market in areas such as microfinance, social enterprise and social venture, affordable housing, fair trade, environmental and alternative energy activity and independent media.

Based in San Francisco, GoodCap works with individual and institutional investors to develop and manage funds that can achieve the collective goals of the investors. Through targeted development of funds and other financial instruments, we connect investors together in new combinations, and connect their capital to real possibilities for social good.

The founders of GoodCap are responding to a deep and significant shift in investor demand - a new appetite for investments that balance financial returns with achieving social good, often within newly defined risk-return paradigms. The social capital market relies on market mechanisms and expects a financial return while achieving goals of social good. This market engages both the rational investor mind, which is always calculating risk and return, and philanthropic motivations that are deeply tied into a view of what the world should be.

GoodCap partners hold a strong and continuing commitment to expanding the entire field through market formation activities ranging from educating investors and telling stories to investigating emergent opportunities and hosting dialogues. Through its support of www.XiGi.net, GoodCap is helping to create an intellectual commons with information that results in more deals done more quickly at higher levels of efficiency.

Together, the GoodCap team is uniquely positioned to serve investors who want to move capital to good. We bring a history of structuring investment vehicles that achieve tangible social purposes; we have knowledge of the whole field including where the greatest opportunities and gaps exist; and, we have a proven track record in both building networks of trusted relationships that can achieve collective goals as well as building successful, leading, profitable, businesses.
