We focus on primary needs sectors

These are the sectors we believe Breathe can have the most direct impact on the environment and society. We selectively work with companies where our approach can have an outsized impact.

Currently, we have partnered and invested in housing and healthcare.

The Approach

The intention behind every aspect of our approach comes from our purpose; to build inspired companies.

We help build purpose-driven companies through creating alignment on capital, governance, culture, structure and purpose.

We work with companies in two phases. We work with entrepreneurs who are looking to scale their purpose-driven companies, and we work with owners looking to sell their company.
