Hopelab Ventures is a social impact investor committed to advancing mental health and well-being outcomes for young people.
Adolescence is a time of immense promise, yet systemic barriers often prevent young people from historically underinvested populations from achieving their aspirations.
As a social impact investor, Hopelab Ventures invests in companies that support the mental health and well-being of adolescents (ages 10-25) particularly BIPOC and LGBTQ+ youth. The organization backs founders with lived experience related to the youth and mental health topics it supports. The team believes those founders are uniquely equipped to develop effective solutions.
Hopelab Ventures’ investment approach combines early-stage capital with expertise in research, design, youth co-creation, and payment models to support the development and adoption of better, more diverse, and accessible mental health and well-being solutions for young people at scale.
The Ventures team invests in companies building scalable solutions designed to improve the mental health and well-being of adolescents. This age group does not need to be the sole population the company serves but needs to be a core focus area. Solutions can range from digital health to social media, as long as they are built with mental health and well-being outcomes in mind.
Hopelab Ventures’ portfolio of social impact investments addresses a diverse range of challenges facing historically underserved youth. Each of its investees’ founding teams are dedicated to better serving and caring for members of their communities via social impact.
Hopelab Ventures is committed to advancing mental health and well-being outcomes for young people with support for teams dedicated to scaling impact and social good.
