SHIFT IS AN EARLY STAGE VENTURE CAPITAL FUND
We invest in innovative start-ups because we want to contribute to bringing back the balance between nature and society. We believe that innovation plays a crucial role in rebalancing the world we live in and that start-ups are the main driver of innovation. We believe that impact and solid financial returns are not a tradeoff but mutually reinforcing factors.
