Why J&J Impact Ventures invests in other funds

For J&J Impact Ventures, a social impact target can’t encompass all the dimensions of impact, but it does need to go beyond funds committed or disbursed and towards giving an indication of real-world change.

Investing in purpose-driven entrepreneurs innovating at the front lines of care – that’s the core mission of Johnson & Johnson Impact Ventures (J&J Impact Ventures), an investment fund within the Johnson & Johnson Foundation.
