For Good Ventures

For Good Ventures is a San Francisco-based impact-focused venture capital firm founded in 2015 by Kim Kolt, built from her family office. The firm targets innovative, disruptive technologies changing the world for good, investing in for-profit, positive-impact businesses in private markets positioned for scalable change. Investment sectors span cleantech, climate technologies, health, education, financial inclusion for underserved communities, consumer products, machine learning, clean energy production, carbon sequestration, and synthetic biology. With 178 portfolio companies and investments to date, For Good Ventures has deployed capital across a broad spectrum of impact themes, producing four IPOs and 23 acquisitions. Notable portfolio companies include Chime, the consumer fintech platform focused on financial inclusion, and MasterClass, the online education platform. The firm co-invests alongside established names including BMW i Ventures, reflecting its position within the broader impact investing ecosystem. The most recent investment was Levels, a metabolic monitoring company, in August 2024. Typical initial checks range from $100,000 to $1 million. For Good Ventures operates with a conviction that mission and financial return are not in tension. The firm's breadth across impact themes — from carbon sequestration to healthcare access to consumer financial services — reflects a belief that transformative businesses can emerge across many sectors simultaneously. Kim Kolt subsequently became a founding General Partner at Bay Bridge Ventures' Institutional Impact Fund, and the firm continues its investment activity as an active participant in the impact investing ecosystem.
