Founder Note:
Why Vitality?
Vitality is the power giving continuance of life, exuberant physical strength or mental vigor. We envision a world of vitality—a vibrant earth that in turn enables us to live with vigor.
As a long-distance mountain runner coming from a background in biology and genetics, I am in awe of nature’s beautifully balanced and complex systems. I have high conviction that tech and solutions that tap into nature’s intelligence will be energy-efficient, cost effective, and resilient.
We designed Vitality to fuel early-stage startups and incredible founders creating tech and solutions inspired by the way that nature works.
Why Now?
We are at a pivotal moment. Half of the world’s GDP—$44 trillion—is directly dependent on nature, yet we continue to erode the very systems that sustain it.
This is a unique moment in time to combine the best of modern technology and nature's intelligence to create solutions that are highly profitable over the next decade and beyond.
We will increasingly need real solutions for human NEEDS over the next decade in key sectors representing a $4.5T market projected to grow to $9.2T by 2030.
Within these sectors, there is a largely untapped opportunity to invest in startups that will solve billion-dollar challenges by applying nature’s intelligence to pressing needs in agriculture, construction, materials, and human health.
