We take a non-traditional approach to impact investing, providing zero-interest loans that enable startups to grow and thrive. Returned funds are reinvested into JLL Foundation.
We work in partnership with Good Machine, a venture studio with an extensive network of startups, investors and foundations engaged in climate change mitigation.
