Background
Year Founded: 2016
Mission & Mandate: To empower individuals and organizations to better use capital to advance their and our collective missions; to deploy capital and improve infrastructure and systems to better serve marginalized individuals and communities using intersectionality, thereby breaking down systematic social stratification.
Description: Marigold focuses on resilient and growing North American companies that drive positive financial, operational and social prosperity outcomes for employees, actors in their value and supply chains, users, clients and customers, communities, and its investors.
We fund a community of founders and companies that are overlooked and neglected within niche yet growing markets or functions that operate efficiently with sustainability and growth in balance, all while tackling some of our biggest social challenges within the SDGs. We use critical social and gender equity approaches to our investment decisions and portfolio management, and we fund entrepreneurial companies in a more sustainable and holistic manner than our VC colleagues.
