Good Machine is a venture studio that leverages a world-class network of research facilities, NGOs, philanthropies, corporates, engineers, scientists, and venture capitalists to create end-to-end solutions for critical global challenges. The studio focuses on addressing climate catastrophes, economic hardship, declining resources, escalating conflict, and ecosystem collapse. Good Machine identifies social and environmental market opportunities, rapidly develops and prototypes product-based solutions, incubates companies, supports fundraising, and spins out impact-oriented for-profit companies. The organization operates through three primary approaches: Build (incubate a portfolio of companies using moonshot tech for good), Advise (provide expertise that unlocks breakthrough innovations for impact-driven companies), and Fund (support promising early-stage companies to catalyze global change). The studio partners with the JLL Foundation to provide zero-interest loans to climate-impacting startups, enabling early-stage companies to grow and thrive in a virtuous cycle model. Good Machine emphasizes gender parity and diversity in its pipeline of entrepreneurs, engineers, and strategic team members, reflecting the values that the climate impact and innovation sector strives for.
