Social Capital Holdings is an active partner in building extraordinary businesses. We combine the strategic rigor of a hedge fund with the hands-on approach of activist investing, driving transformative change in companies with exceptional potential. Our private fund structure allows us to prioritize long-term, sustainable growth, focusing on building lasting value rather than rapid expansion. We believe true value creation stems from a holistic approach, considering both financial performance and the human element – fostering thriving cultures where businesses and employees flourish. We integrate principles of individual and organizational psychology, recognizing that a company's greatest asset is its people.
Our investment strategy is a self-reinforcing cycle. We identify undervalued companies with significant improvement potential. Through Active Private Equity Investments, we take controlling or significant stakes, leveraging operational expertise and organizational psychology to drive long-term positive change. We collaborate closely with management and employees, fostering innovation and growth. Unburdened by short-term exit strategies, we unlock hidden value and build profitable businesses that contribute positively to society, prioritizing employee well-being and development.
Returns from Active Private Equity Investments fuel our Dynamic Growth Investments. Using a multi-strategy approach across diverse asset classes, we employ sophisticated hedge fund strategies to generate absolute returns and amplify our impact. This dynamic capital allocation allows us to capitalize on opportunities while managing risk and optimizing our portfolio. Even within Dynamic Growth investments, we selectively engage with companies to advocate for positive change and sustainable practices. Our private fund structure provides the flexibility for patient, strategic investing.
Our commitment to social impact extends beyond for-profit investments. We collaborate with our non-profit partner, the Social Capital Foundation (a 501(c)(3) organization), dedicated to improving healthcare efficiency and effectiveness. We ensure charitable donations are strategically utilized for maximum impact. This partnership reinforces our belief that financial success and social responsibility are intertwined.
Our Commitment:
We are committed to a long-term vision, focusing on sustainable growth and value creation. Our private fund structure empowers a patient, strategic approach. Our core principles guide our investment process:
Active Engagement: We actively work with portfolio companies to drive meaningful change.
Long-Term Focus: We build businesses for the future, focusing on sustainable growth and long-term value creation.

Social Capital Holdings began in 2019 with a simple idea: build businesses that succeed financially and create thriving cultures. This vision led to the creation of the Social Capital Foundation, preceding Social Capital Holdings. Founders Darryl Moore and Spencer R. Potesta combined their expertise – Darryl’s financial acumen and Spencer’s expertise in organizational psychology – to support the healthcare sector. The goal was a self-sustaining cycle where the for-profit arm supports the Foundation.
Darryl’s hedge fund and non-profit healthcare background provided financial expertise and a passion for social impact. Spencer, a clinical psychotherapist and organizational consultant, understood that a company's people are its greatest strength. His experience demonstrated that applying psychology to business unlocks potential.
Building on the Foundation's experience, they created Social Capital Holdings. The private fund structure allows a focus on long-term growth. They partner with companies, actively working with leadership and employees to improve operations and build positive cultures, using principles of individual and organizational psychology.
Social Capital Holdings is about building lasting value. We believe that when businesses and their people thrive, everyone wins. We build businesses from within, supporting the Social Capital Foundation's crucial work.

Our vision is to be the preferred partner for businesses – owners with big dreams and employees who realize them. We believe exceptional businesses are built on shared success. When businesses flourish, they create extraordinary experiences for those within and the customers they serve.
We aspire to relentlessly pursue excellence in building businesses, recognized for expertise and our commitment to ethics, integrity, and a humanity-first mindset. True success is measured by financial performance and positive impact on people's lives and communities.
The Social Capital Foundation remains central to our mission. We envision Social Capital Holdings as a perpetual engine of support, enabling the Foundation to further its vital work in healthcare and beyond. Our success directly translates into greater impact for the Foundation.
Building exceptional businesses requires more than financial acumen. It demands understanding human dynamics, fostering thriving cultures, and respecting individuals. We strive to be chosen for our capabilities and values – prioritizing people, long-term sustainable growth, and acting with integrity and compassion.
We believe business can be a powerful force for good and are committed to building a better future together.
