With $14 billion of assets under management across The Rise Funds, TPG Rise Climate, and the Evercare Health Fund, TPG's impact investing funds work with growth-stage, high potential, mission-driven companies that have the power to change the world.
The Rise Fund is currently a lead investor in more than 40 companies across four continents, operating in more than 30 countries. We work hand-in-hand with entrepreneurs and management teams to build strong, transformative businesses and create positive social and environmental impact. Within the Rise portfolio, companies are:

Headquartered in San Francisco, The Rise Fund was founded in 2016 by TPG in partnership with Bono and Jeff Skoll and offers deep expertise in business solutions to help achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. As part of TPG, The Rise Fund offers investment resources, business-building skills and a global network to help our portfolio companies accelerate growth and impact.
The Rise Funds seek to expand the reach of commercial capital in order to help a new generation of entrepreneurs build profitable businesses that deliver positive and sustainable impact. We are dedicated to rigorous measurement and have created new assessment tools to ensure that social impact can be measured and quantified, which we believe will help advance the success of impact investing globally. The Rise Fund is committed to serving as a resource for others who are focused on investing to drive positive impact.
Our Approach:
We bring the power of scale and reach
With the ability to invest across a wide variety of sectors and countries at scale, The Rise Funds have an unrivaled ability to help businesses grow, increase their impact and achieve long-term success. Our breadth of resources, networks and expertise, which includes decades of impact experience and more than 100 investors and business builders, means that we can invest in mission-driven companies at scale. This has allowed The Rise Funds to create a unique portfolio of companies delivering on impact and financial growth, in partnership with incredible founders and leaders.
We are committed to evidence-based investing
Given the large and increasing amount of capital flowing into impact investing, it is critical that this capital is deployed effectively, efficiently and responsibly. We believe that delivering measurable impact alongside competitive financial returns will increase market confidence in impact investing and unlock more funding for entrepreneurs and businesses. We dedicated significant resources from the start to developing impact underwriting tools within The Rise Funds. And as part of our commitment to rigorous impact measurement, we created Y Analytics, a public benefit corporation dedicated to helping capital allocators better understand, value and manage social and environmental impact.
