Enough with optics.
It’s time for outcomes.

THE PROBLEM

No Harm = Not Enough

“Values” investing that simply removes “toxic” assets (fossil fuels, private prisons, arms, etc) from portfolios is misleading. It perpetuates the fallacy that investing ethically necessitates lower returns and doesn’t actually solve anything.

Outcomes vs Optics

Investing in women usually centers on the gender of the c-suite or board members rather than on MEASURABLE benefits directly impacting women, AT SCALE. In other words, priority is on optics not real economic outcomes.

Scale Up or Go Home

Impact vehicles delivering measurable results mostly work at a smaller scale. Few cross the $100M threshold and most are focused on early stage rather than existing, healthy, scalable businesses best poised to grow and last.

OUR SOLUTION

We invest in companies – regardless of their founders’ gender – that can prove to us that they are creating a measurable economic benefit that puts more money in the wallets of women.

BRAVA seeks compelling investments that achieve broad-based economic impact for women leveraging a platform of domain experts, thought leaders & gender equality advocates via a flexible, long-term & permanently capitalized holding company structure.

TARGET INVESTMENTS

FAST GROWING COMPANIES

We find companies that show potential to achieve scale with strong fundamentals, and that are uniquely-positioned to outpace their peers and achieve above-market returns.

HIGH GROWTH INDUSTRIES

We focus on industries where we can add value, that are exploding with growth (beta) and target companies that are developing cutting edge technology, research & development, and other innovations (including social innovation) to disrupt industries.

WOMEN
STAKEHOLDERS

Companies that are impacting the lives of women as key stakeholders in their business, and where a positive impact on women is a core bi-product of the business model and/or product(s).

Women : An Undervalued Asset

Women make up 52% of the U.S. population and are becoming college educated at higher rates than men.

Women control 70% of household spending and spent $30 trillion in consumer spending in 2015 alone.

Globally, women reinvest 90% of income into the health, nutrition, and education of their families - 3x more than men.
