©Copyright 2012 B Lab. All rights reservedAbout Satori Capital
Satori Capital is a growth capital and buyout firm that invests in companies seeking to build significant value through a sustainable approach. Management teams of these sustainably run companies operate with a long-term perspective, demonstrate a commitment to a mission or purpose, and focus on creating value for all of their stakeholders.
We became a B Corporation because companies that embrace all of their stakeholders generate greater returns for their investors over the long run. We anticipate that B Lab will help companies like Satori stand out, and that our specific focus on impact investing will increase the asset class’s credibility and grow investment in sustainable companies that also generate strong returns.
Satori takes a majority stake in the companies in which it invests, giving it the ability to partner with management teams in shaping a long-term strategy. To ensure that Satori partners only with management teams that share its values, Satori evaluates them extensively before partnering. In addition to the traditional financial and operational evaluation of a company, Satori’s due diligence process includes supplemental evaluation tools such as a sustainability checklist and a leadership development profile for the management team.
The Change We Seek®
Satori effects change by using capital and business to generate outsized returns for investors while also enhancing the well-being of as many people in the world as possible. Satori’s push to create systemic change within investing is based upon its belief that the most successful companies operate with a sustainable approach that includes a higher purpose, a stakeholder orientation, and a long-term perspective. These tenets make up the core of a movement called Conscious Capitalism, based on the belief that a more complex form of capitalism is emerging which holds the potential for business to be a force for good in the world. Satori believes that doing good and doing well are powerfully synergistic. The company can do both good and well by partnering with companies that share its approach. As Satori helps these companies grow and flourish, the impact on all stakeholders can be profound. Satori hopes to help shift the flow of capital allocations toward the impact investing space as asset owners increase their appreciation for the outperformance that can arise from these types of investments.
