Ethos Capitalism

Over the weekend, our portfolio company, Newforma, showcased the power of Ethos Capitalism. Their EMEA team crossed 20 bridges and covered 20 miles in London, supporting CRASH - Construction Industry's Charity. This commendable effort also kicked off Newforma’s 20th anniversary and their #newforma20challenge. This initiative beautifully aligns with our Ethos Capitalism approach, blending profitability with purpose. We're proud to see our values in action, making a tangible impact and fostering community engagement. ? https://lnkd.in/d4zdyGUw ?

As part of our commitment to our communities and our vision for Ethos Capitalism – championing shared success and sustainable growth for everyone - members of Ethos Capital’s Boston office recently volunteered for?More Than Words?(MTW), a local nonprofit social enterprise that empowers young adults who are in the foster care system, court-involved, homeless, or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. MTW’s mission aligns with our values and belief that Ethos Capitalism is a platform for exploring how social well-being and business sustainability can complement each other. The Ethos Capital team worked alongside MTW staff and sorted more than 1000 donated books and filled hundreds of online sales orders - which will in turn create profit for this fantastic program and community business. #EthosCapital #SustainableGrowth #YouthEmpowerment #CommunityEngagement #SocialEnterprise #BusinessForGood #CSR #EthosCapitalism

Delighted to share the latest article by Fadi Chehadé, co-Founder and Managing Partner at Ethos Capital. Fadi believes it is crucial for the AI industry to prioritize the development of ethical guardrails to ensure the safe and beneficial evolution of artificial intelligence. The recent advancements in AI have raised concerns about the risks and challenges posed by these powerful technologies, particularly the potential emergence of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). As responsible investors, we have a duty to support and encourage initiatives that prioritize the long-term well-being of society over short-term gains. By advocating for an AI Pugwash Conference, we can help ensure that the transformative potential of AI is harnessed for the benefit of all, while mitigating the risks and challenges posed by these powerful technologies. It is time for the AI industry to follow in the footsteps of the scientists who have shaped the guardrails for nuclear technology, DNA research, and the Internet. We must act now to ensure that AI remains a force for good in the world. ? https://lnkd.in/dd4mYgfZ #responsibleinvesting #AIethics #ArtificialIntelligence #TechForGood #AISafety #ResponsibleAI #EthicalAI #AIInvestment #TechnologyEthics #FutureOfAI #AIRegulation

Last week in Boston, at Ethos Capital's inaugural investor summit, we introduced "Ethos Capitalism," our vision for blending financial achievement with substantial societal contributions. This approach, distinct from traditional models primarily focused on profit, proposes integrating social, environmental, and economic considerations at every stage of our investment strategy. Ethos Capitalism is centered around the concept of creating a sustainable and prosperous future that benefits not just our shareholders but also the broader communities we engage with. Our strategy, inspired by the principles of responsible capitalism places a significant value on leaving our portfolio companies in better shape than when we found them. We shared inspiring narratives from our portfolio companies, like Identity Digital Inc. , highlighting their journey towards becoming a model of workplace excellence and environmental stewardship with our support. These stories serve as examples of the "Ethos effect" - aiming to spur growth and innovation while promoting a positive culture and striving to reduce our environmental impact. With Ethos Capitalism we embody our commitment to aiming for investments that we believe can leave a lasting positive legacy. We are dedicated to pursuing value creation that considers all stakeholders and endeavors to set a path towards a future where businesses not only thrive financially but also contribute positively to society. #EthosCapital #Investment #Sustainability #DEI #CorporateResponsibility #Innovation #EthosCapitalism
