Ruthlessness is often used by those that can at the expense of those that cannot. My vision was to take that same ruthlessness and put it towards the pursuit of expanding access, opportunity, and choice.

The first-ever impact report from SPP’s economic justice partner Ruthless for Good Fund, led by Camelback Ventures’ Aaron Walker, illustrates how this “ruthlessly people-first” fund is deploying capital with purpose:

They’ve backed 17 companies- 88% led by BIPOC founders and 59% by women, creating 153 new jobs and fueling impact beyond the bottom line.

Here’s what Ruthless for Good’s portfolio companies have achieved:
🔸 7M+ hours of education delivered through AfterSchool HQ
🔸26,131 new community members driving inclusive clinical trials via Acclinate
🔸 20,000+ job trainings shared globally through Skilltype
