for a better tomorrow!
At Good Work Capital (GWC), our mission is to create a thriving ecosystem where diverse leadership and sustainable practices propel growth and innovation. We believe in the power of entrepreneurship to transform societies and are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and sustainable future.
What do we do?
Sustainability startups. Women-Founded Startups. Two phrases that are close to our heart. And if you are a sustainable startup founded by a woman, even better!
At GWC, we believe in mentoring, advising and investing in startups that are good for the planet, the startup ecosystem and for the community.
We typically take a small stake in the business and assist the founders in building and scaling their early-stage businesses. We help to grow the business, and in turn use the positive outcomes to fund new businesses. We believe that the process of ploughing back the wealth generated by successful exits into funding more such companies will create a virtuous self-sustaining cycle of entrepreneurial and community prosperity.
Why do we do this?
We empower female entrepreneurs to foster economic equality and innovation. By investing in women-led ventures, we promote inclusivity and create positive community impact. Our focus on sustainability ensures that our investments support businesses addressing social and environmental challenges, contributing to a healthier planet for future generations.
Empowering Female Entrepreneurs
We focus on businesses helmed by women, offering them the resources and opportunities they need to succeed. By investing in women-run enterprises, we contribute to gender equality and economic empowerment.
Impactful Change
This approach helps break down barriers and promotes a more inclusive economy, creating ripple effects that benefit entire communities.
Driving Sustainability
We prioritize companies dedicated to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices. These businesses address critical issues such as climate change, resource management, health care, food, hunger, and social inequity.
Future-Focused Investments
Sustainable enterprises are positioned for long-term success as the world increasingly shifts towards greener and more ethical practices. Our investments support the transition to a more sustainable global economy.
Making a Difference
By investing in sustainability-focused businesses we hope to contribute to creating a healthier planet and more resilient societies.
