Start a conversationWe build companies that do well by doing good.
Treadlight Ventures is a builder of new companies, dedicated to profit through socially-responsible and sustainable businesses.
If an entrepreneur is already on the path to something wonderful, we want to support that — and help them succeed. We're focused on bringing great ideas to market, whether our own or someone else's.
From first principle to working business.
We develop our own ideas internally and bring them to market — taking a concept all the way from first principle to a real, operating company.
The hardest problems deserve real businesses.
Unmet needs
Climate change and drought, animal suffering, childhood obesity — among the many struggles in our world today. These are most often tackled through the non-profit sector. We believe it's possible to build profitable, relevant, socially-responsible businesses that move the needle.
We can fix this
Our primary focus areas are alleviating animal suffering and reducing environmental impact. We believe in accelerating the pace of change in the world around us — creating larger markets, and greater profits, in the process.
Awareness of the global issues we face is rising. We intend to meet that awareness with companies built to last.
Where we put our energy.
Three priorities guide everything we build.
Alleviating animal suffering
Businesses that reduce harm to the animals we share this planet with.
Reducing environmental impact
Companies that lighten our footprint on the climate and the natural world.
Sustainable, profitable businesses
Impact that lasts — because the economics work. Profit and purpose, together.
Building something good? Let's talk.
Whether you're an entrepreneur with an idea or a partner who wants to help good companies succeed, we'd love to hear from you.
