About

Giant Leap Fund, launched in 2016 by The Impact Investment Group (IIG), is Australia's first venture capital fund dedicated exclusively to impact startups. The fund focuses on investing in companies that leverage technology and innovation to address critical global challenges in climate, health, and social equity. By supporting mission-driven founders, Giant Leap aims to generate both financial returns and measurable positive social and environmental impacts.

As of April 2023, the fund manages over $65 million in assets and has invested in more than 30 companies across sectors such as sustainable living, health and wellbeing, and empowerment. In 2021, Giant Leap transitioned into an independent entity, continuing its commitment to backing founders who use business as a force for good.
