Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at Radicle Impact Partners?

Co-Founder and Managing Partner Dan Skaff leads the firm and sits on the investment committee. Three domain partners — Catha Groot (Good Food), Ami Naik (Fair Finance), and Corey Vernon (Good Climate) — drive sourcing, diligence, and board representation within their respective verticals, per the firm's website.

Does Radicle Impact Partners do direct investments or fund commitments?

Radicle invests directly into early-stage companies. Its public disclosures, portfolio board seats, and sector-focused partner roles reflect a direct venture model with no mention of a fund-of-funds or LP commitment program.

What is Radicle's relationship to Beneficial State Bank?

Co-founding investors Kat Taylor and Tom Steyer co-founded Beneficial State Bank, a CDFI and certified B Corp based in California. While Radicle is a separate venture firm, this relationship provides a practical lens into underbanked communities and fair-finance patterns that informs Radicle's FinTech deal sourcing.

Which sectors does Radicle explicitly avoid?

Radicle does not publish a formal exclusion list, but its investment pillars — Good Food, Good Climate, and Fair Finance — suggest it avoids sectors without a clear sustainability or economic-inclusion thesis, such as extractive energy, conventional food supply chains, or predatory consumer finance.

What is Radicle's stated deployment target?

Radicle publicly states a goal to "migrate $1 billion to our impact model over time." The firm has not disclosed a timeline, current AUM, or total capital deployed toward that figure.

How does Radicle measure and report impact?

Radicle states it targets benchmark-or-better returns with measurable social and environmental impact, and its website includes an 'Impact' section (content not fully disclosed in this profile's sources). The firm has not publicly released standardized impact accounting methodologies or third-party verification reports.

What differentiates Radicle’s approach to early-stage climate investing?

Radicle emphasizes 'systems change' potential in sectors responsible for the largest emissions sources — buildings and industry, food, and transportation — while also focusing on re-carbonization of soils. Its climate practice combines this top-down emissions lens with access to operators who have scaled B Corp entities inside large public-company supply chains.
