Why Small Great

Near our office, a park is undergoing reforestation. Invasive bamboo is being replaced with native trees. A sign nearby reads: “This is nature at work. It may look a little messy, but it’s making space for birds, bees, butterflies, and bats.” Small, essential beings that help ecosystems thrive.

Much of life depends on small, coordinated systems doing quiet, continuous work. When those systems fall out of balance, everything downstream becomes strained.

Growth isn’t meant to be frantic or extractive. It’s meant to be steady, intentional, and supported by systems that can carry it.

Our work is about restoring balance so companies can thrive.


Our Vision

We are building toward a world where companies nurture the needs of humanity and the planet.  At Small Great Ventures, we are creating a new paradigm of business where impact is woven into the operational DNA in a profit-serves-purpose business model.

Our Mission

The real existential threat to humanity isn't climate itself; it's the inherited systems pushing humanity toward catastrophe. Our billions-of-years-old planet will be fine with or without us.

We are on a quest to uncover non-obvious solutions vital to unlocking the systemic changes needed for humanity to thrive on our planet. (NBD!)

We join forces with impact founders building companies:

  • Unlocking our polarized politics
  • Addressing the mental health crisis
  • Providing pathways to financial inclusion and stability, and
  • Helping the planet heal through emissions reduction.
