9 Billion Lives is a new Impact Enterprise operating as a global catalyst for transformative change.
We are focused on enabling innovators to take bolder action towards impact and empowering investors and funders to support them.

The Group's Purpose
9 Billion Lives’ driving vision is a future where innovation enables every individual to live a full life within the limits of the earth. This is our North Star.
There is a need to accelerate the deployment of bigger, higher impact initiatives to meet the world’s challenges and confront growing global inequity. The world’s population is growing rapidly, adding roughly a billion people in the next decade. Current practices are unsustainable. Wealth has never been more unevenly distributed and we would exhaust the resources of 5 planets if 9 billion people lived the way many of us do now. With increasing affluence comes the demand for better lifestyles. We need to take action now to secure our future.
Enter 9 Billion Lives - your trusted partner for bold impact.
Our objective is to become a global leader in evidence about bold-impact potential (higher-risk, high-impact opportunities) and to use this evidence as the foundation for a platform that facilitates funding and investment in bold-impact initiatives.
The 9 Billion Lives Imagine-Think-Act platform will change behaviour in the innovation and financial sectors by identifying innovations of bold-impact potential, becoming an impact partner and then brokering investment and funding. We will allow people and organizations to act differently, behave collaboratively and undertake BOLD initiatives that can drive the meaningful change we need.
