Racine2

Racine² is an impact investment initiative, deploying €87 million into early-stage companies focused on climate, health, education, and sports. It offers capital and operational guidance to founders developing innovative solutions for critical social and environmental issues. The initiative integrates financial performance with a commitment to positive societal change.

This initiative was co-founded by Serena, a venture capital firm, and makesense, an organization dedicated to social and environmental impact. The genesis of Racine² lies in their shared insight that strong financial returns and meaningful positive impact can be mutually reinforcing. Their combined experience and networks underpin the support provided to their portfolio.

Racine² partners with early-stage founders whose ventures advance a healthier planet, foster community well-being, encourage physical activity, and expand educational access. Its vision is to empower entrepreneurs building resilient businesses for the long term, tackling global challenges, and contributing to a more sustainable and equitable future.
