Halo Impact Group
We build and back companies that improve the health of people and the planet.
Our perspective
Humanity’s future depends on the health of people and the planet. The energy we generate, the water we drink, the care we receive and the natural systems we depend on will determine how well we live.
Advances in clean energy, AI, biology and engineering are making it possible to meet essential needs in ways that were uneconomic a decade ago. As intelligence becomes more widely available, demand for the power, infrastructure and machines supporting it will grow.
We believe protecting the planet and improving human health represent some of the greatest economic opportunities of the coming decades. Halo builds and backs companies that make essential systems cleaner, cheaper and more accessible.
Read our perspectiveWhere we work
We focus on five essential systems. Across them, Halo possesses specialist teams, deep domain expertise and capital to build and back companies capable of transforming them. AI, advanced engineering and new science run through all five.
Longer lives should mean more years in good health. Advances in diagnostics, patient data and biology are creating opportunities to detect disease earlier and develop better treatments. We back companies improving how illness is understood, prevented and treated.
An electrified, AI-driven world needs more clean, dependable power. The opportunity extends from generation and storage to the infrastructure that delivers electricity where it is needed. Cheaper, more reliable energy also makes progress possible across water, industry and mobility.
Reliable water underpins health, food production and industry, yet conventional infrastructure leaves much of the world underserved. We build businesses around decentralised supply, advanced treatment and atmospheric water generation, bringing dependable water closer to the people and industries that need it.
Intelligence is moving into machines that drive, move goods and perform physical work. We build and back businesses across electric mobility, autonomy and robotics, including the financing, fleet infrastructure and operations needed to put those machines to work.
Healthy oceans and ecosystems sustain food supplies, livelihoods and climate stability. Better monitoring and new production methods are creating commercial opportunities in aquaculture, restoration and ocean infrastructure. We focus on businesses whose growth supports the recovery of the natural systems they depend on.
