Lightbulb Trust
From intent to a working investment practice.
Creating a private trust’s impact-investment thesis and process, then managing the investments and supporting the companies it backed.
01
The challenge
The trust wanted to put capital to work for impact with discipline, without building a large team or a fund structure around itself.
02
What we did
Created the investment thesis and process, built and screened the pipeline, and managed investments and ongoing support to portfolio companies.
03
What we built
A working impact-investment practice: thesis, decision criteria, pipeline reviews and portfolio support that a lean trust could run.
- Thesis, process, pipeline, portfolio
- Ongoing part-time role alongside the trust
- Investment lead + portfolio support
