Our Funds


Annabelle Williams explains how Reaction drives global change.

Fund I - W250 Venture

Our first fund is named after the room at Stanford where our story began.

Its strategy is driven by our mission to improve a billion lives. We invest in proven leaders with world changing potential and scale their innovations globally. Our focus is on sectors that advance our mission – such as health technology and climate innovation.


Fund II - Climate Innovations

Climate change is…

  • The toughest challenge humanity has ever faced

  • The largest economic opportunity of the century

  • The problem Reaction is most capable to help solve

To accelerate our path to net zero we globally scale top Stanford climate innovations to the industries they can impact.

We are a global team who shares a vision for a world where thought leadership and innovation can create more value, and change more lives, in less time.

Why now?  Because more innovations will be created in more countries and industries over the next decade than in the previous 50 years.  Many that offer the potential to solve pressing global issues will fail to reach the markets that need them the most.

Reaction was founded by a diverse team of global leaders who united to solve this problem.  

 

Our Vision

A world where innovation can create more value, and improve more lives, in less time.
