  • Transforming the Problem into the Solution

    At Uncommon Impact, we’re rewriting the tech funding playbook, from crowdsourcing to full-scale investments. We aggressively seek talent in places Silicon Valley’s gatekeepers have ignored for too long, bridging resources and support to communities that may lack opportunity and visibility, but are rich in visionaries who have waited far too long for a chance. But money, vital as it may be, is the common answer. At Uncommon, we know it is just the start.

  • Welcome to Capital 5.0

    Uncommon Impact was founded on the idea that there exist five forms of capital, each of which are essential—and the monetary kind is only one. No business, no matter how great its team or how innovative its product, has ever survived on funds alone. Success depends on all five. Best of all, our community-driven approach helps pool resources across portfolio companies, boosting our own operational efficiency while fostering a flywheel effect in which each success reinforces the next.

A Capital 5.0 investment is uncommon. We design it around you.

Our investments operate on a continuum across the five forms of capital, which means we work with you to craft the right solution for you, whether that be We work intensively with our portfolio companies & clients, treating them like partners, to help them foster their vision at each of the many—and often chaotic—stages of a young company’s growth. But a Capital 5.0 investment doesn’t make us owners, or even mentors. We’re partners, well aware of where our expertise ends and theirs begins.

We give our founders the space they need to experiment, explore, and even make the right kind of mistakes. But we’re also there to share what we learned when we faced the same things, whether it’s building a team with the perfect skillset, presenting on the biggest stages in the world, or suiting up for a meeting with the local government. We’ve seen it all, and so will our investees.
