Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Spring Impact Capital?
The core investment team is Graham Day, Olivia Hornby, and Larissa Sequeira, supported by co-founder Keith Ippel. Day brings two decades of impact investing experience including a founding role at LGT Impact (now Lightrock, with $3B AUM) and a CFO tenure at Sistema.bio. Hornby is a former Goldman Sachs Asset Management VP who now sits on the board of the Association of Women in Finance. An external investment committee that includes Stephen Nairne (Raven Indigenous Capital Partners) and Monique Morden (Timia Capital) provides advisory oversight.
How is Spring Impact Capital related to the Spring accelerator?
Spring Impact Capital is the dedicated venture fund built on top of Spring, an impact accelerator co-founded by Keith Ippel in 2010. Spring has catalyzed over $81M in impact investment and supported more than 3,300 founders through training, mentorship, and investor-matching programs. The fund uses Spring's national pipeline to source early-stage Canadian ventures in human and planetary health that have already demonstrated intentional, measurable impact through the accelerator's curriculum.
Does Spring Impact Capital participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Spring Impact Capital makes direct investments into operating companies. The firm's strategy page and portfolio both describe co-investing and leading rounds in early-stage ventures, with post-investment board engagement. There is no mention of fund-of-fund commitments, LP positions in other venture funds, or secondary transactions.
