Our Model

The Commonwealth Model

Commonwealth exists to produce high quality deal flow. We believe that quality can be achieved only when strong economic performance is joined by measurable social impact.

Commonwealth produces quality deal flow in three lanes of action: Growth Capital Investments; Impact First Investments, and as an Owner/Operator of High Impact Ventures.

Impact First Investments

Owner/Operator of High Impact Ventures

  • We create $10M+ through companies under our ownership that advance enterprise solutions to poverty and enhance educational opportunity
  • Case Study: Purposeful Design
