Capricorn Investment Group

Capricorn Investment Group

Capricorn Investment Group began in 2000 as Jeffrey Skoll’s dedicated investment platform. It has since opened its mandate to additional families while retaining its Palo Alto headquarters and New York office. The structure preserves Skoll’s oversight alongside the Skoll Foundation and Participant Media. The firm commits capital through direct co-investments, SPVs, fund-of-funds, and private equity vehicles. Core asset classes include ClimateTech, Energy Transition & Renewables, Mobility & Transportation, Circular Economy, and Industrial Tech. Confirmed positions include a stake in Closed Loop Capital Management shared with JS Capital and Schusterman Family Investments, plus a 20 percent holding in Norselab acquired with Ness, Risan & Partners. Deployment reaches North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa at growth, venture, and private equity stages. Assets under management stand at $12.5 billion. Partners Mark Berryman and Dipender Saluja maintain external roles on the Impact Capital Managers LP Council, Cyclotron Road Leadership Council, and PRIME Coalition Investment Committee. The firm holds B Corporation certification and belongs to the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative. Governance incorporates mission-related screens and external advisory seats that shape allocation policy. This setup separates Capricorn from standard multi-family offices by embedding certification requirements and academic linkages directly into investment processes.
