CapShift Advisors
CapShift Advisors was established in 2013 by Adam Rein and Mark Cirilli of MissionPoint Partners together with Jacques Perold. The firm began as an effort to route patient philanthropic capital into mission-driven enterprises that traditional markets had overlooked. Its structure evolved from an acquisition of the ImpactUs Marketplace platform shortly after launch. The firm allocates across private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, and venture capital. It executes through direct co-investments, SPVs, and fund-of-funds mandates. Confirmed positions and partnerships include work with Fidelity Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, and the Heron Foundation. Activity spans North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. CapShift also maintains exposure to advanced materials, AI/ML applications, and ESG-screened strategies. The team numbers more than twenty investment and operations professionals. Additional capabilities sit in client experience, marketing, and technology. In April 2025 Liz Sessler was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer while retaining oversight of operations and client service. CapShift maintains relationships with community foundations and national donor-advised fund sponsors that use its platform for impact allocation. CapShift functions as a wholly owned subsidiary of CapShift LLC and maintains a distinct governance layer that separates investment decisions from its founding impact manager MissionPoint Partners. This separation allows the firm to serve multiple unaffiliated family offices and foundations without carrying a single-family mandate.
