Stand Together Ventures

As Stand Together Ventures partners, we use our time, talent, and resources to supercharge organizations who innovate and disrupt the status quo to give more people more tools to transform their lives and their communities:

Stand Together Ventures partners take on some of the biggest challenges facing our society.

Broken education systems. Generational poverty. Hyperpolarism. Cronyism in government and business. All erect barriers to opportunity for millions of Americans. We break these barriers with three strategies:

01

Venture-Like Approach – We invest in the most promising new organizations, social entrepreneurs, and transformative initiatives, and connect them to one another to pursue innovative solutions to societal problems.

02

Exponential Possibility – Our unique community of entrepreneurs harnesses the power of our collective knowledge and experience in building and running businesses to 100x the impact of these organizations and their founders, to break the barriers holding people back.

03

Active Partnership – We gather regularly to learn from each other’s successes and challenges, to consider new ideas, and to work together to transform society into one of mutual benefit, where people succeed by creating value for others.
