Samaritan Partners
A Public Benefit Venture Fund
Samaritan Partners Fund I is creating a more inclusive and accessible world by accelerating capital investment and partnership in early-stage, for-profit companies serving the disability sector. Our aim is to achieve scalable, sustainable social impact alongside financial returns.
The unique structure of a public benefit venture fund holds us accountable to our mission and ensures alignment between Samaritan and our key stakeholders – our investors, our portfolio companies and the communities we aim to serve.
Management
Expertise
We bring management expertise, product and operational support, an extensive community of industry leaders and operators, and intend to make a long-term commitment to partnering in order to impact the lives of people with disabilities.
Civic-Minded Investors
Samaritan investors include high net worth individuals, family offices, foundations, and other philanthropic-minded organizations who have a long-term view of the world and believe their investment can be used as a tool for positive change.
Patient Capital Approach
We have a patient capital approach to investing in for-profit, social good companies that focus on the disability sector. In addition, we expect our companies to have a strong belief and foundation around the tenets of conscious capitalism.
