    Investing in the future of society and environment

     

    With UNITED17 Ventures and BITHOUSE VENTURE GROUP's global reach and commitment to a healthy and sustainable future, our organization invests in ventures lead by ethical teams who are focused on capital gains and sustainable societies. We work with networks of investors who value the implementation of principles which contribute to the integration of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) into their investment practices. We use our broad influence on governmental, institutional, and startup acceleration networks to promote ESG values in our investment circles and portfolio networks.

     

    We gravitate towards supporting those who value both gender and ethnic diversity amongst the teams they invest, as well as solutions which have the potential to benefit communities across the globe.
