DO GOOD + DO WELL
Beyond charitable giving, investing to impact cancer
For those of us committed to curing cancer, the Cancer Impact Fund simplifies the complexities of investing in early stage ventures with the potential to impact cancer. CIF is similar to a venture capital fund, but unique in a few critical ways, including:
Impact Investment Strategy – Our impact investment strategy provides us with access to promising research and early stage ventures aligned with our mission and investment objectives.
Execution Management – The Cancer Impact Fund is a partner with the ability to lead early stage funding, provide experienced management, and build relationships that create value for our portfolio companies.
Value Creation Model – Unlike like venture capital models taking a passive minority position, CIF generally acquires a controlling interest and actively manages strategy and execution.
