WHY FOR BENEFIT?"Outperforming for-profits alone by 9-to-1, 'For Benefit' Companies are truly winning in business"
We are in midst of an investment crisis. The business model and incentive structure of venture capital has remained stagnant for decades, fixated on getting more: more funds, more returns, more control. Yet this pursuit of more begs the question: what is more for? For Benefit Ventures backs bold entrepreneurial teams that tackle social, environmental, and human issues comprehensively, at scale. Founded by Raj Lahoti, the firm is guided by alignment of purpose and returns. We back the ventures that we believe the world needs more of. Andrew Hewitt, Founder of GameChangers500 - Keynote at Conscious Capitalism SD "Outperforming for-profits alone by 9-to-1, 'For Benefit' Companies are truly winning in business"

GameChangers 500The World's Top For-Benefit CompaniesGameChangers 500 profiles the world’s top For-Benefit businesses that are focused on maximizing benefit to people and the planet, rather than just maximizing profit-at-all-cost. Considered an alternative to lists like the Fortune 500, GameChangers 500 looks beyond revenue as the “point system” and awards organizations up to 9 badges that represent symbols of success in this “new game” of business. The badges cover a spectrum of best practices within the categories of:WHY they are in business (purpose-first or profit-first)HOW they run the business (operations that positively impact people and the planet)WHAT impact the business is creating (depth and breadth of social, environmental and economic impact)Among the top 500 are socially and environmentally conscious leaders like Patagonia and Method, mavericks of workplace culture like Zappos and Virgin, as well as innovators like Tesla Motors and IDEO. Although the qualified organizations excel in different badge categories and are a zoo of different legal breeds, they are unified in their commitment to use business to create a better world.Uplevel your game.
