Q

Hi Noah, what types of businesses do you look to get involved with in the philanthropy fund? Have you looked at start ups looking to bring health care innovation in developing nations?

The SixPoints Jewish Venture Philanthropy Fund (JVPF) makes targeted venture-level investments in creative new programs and organizations that have the potential for social impact, scalability and sustainability. The ideal funding opportunity for the fund is one in which our financial investment and the creative input of our partners will provide vital assistance to allow a good idea to grow exponentially. We look for projects and organizations that are at a stage in its growth or development at which our investment can (1) have significant impact; (2) grow the organization or project to scale; and (3) help the organization or project attain sustainability. Our focus is on projects in Toronto so we can get close to them but we would look at bringing health care innovation to developing nations if the core team was based in Toronto.
