About Quantified Ventures
Quantified Ventures is an outcomes-based capital firm that drives transformative environmental, health, and social impact. Through a process of identification, development, due diligence, and structuring, we design creative and efficient outcomes-based projects and financial transactions for clients, helping to deploy impact capital to scale innovative social and environmental solutions.
We plan, develop, and secure financing for projects and ventures from beginning to end. Our work includes:
- Consulting
- Project design and development
- Financial structuring and new venture incubation

Externally, we go to market in two sectors:

The large and growing market for investment capital challenges the notion that there has to be a trade-off between financial and environmental and social returns. By deploying capital to environmental initiatives and social enterprises that are both demonstrating positive impact and achieving sustainability, we are building capacity to address the world’s most pressing challenges. At Quantified Ventures, we simplify access to capital to scale solutions, interventions, and companies that drive true social and environmental change through innovative financing mechanisms.
