Maze Impact Investment is a Lisbon-based impact investing firm that focuses on supporting ventures addressing social and environmental challenges. The organization operates across three main areas: a €45 million venture capital fund, an impact accelerator program called Maze X, and a government performance team working to improve social services. Maze invests in early-stage impact ventures across Europe, with a particular focus on healthcare and wellbeing, the future of learning and work, and sustainable production and consumption. Their typical investment ticket is €100,000 for the Maze X accelerator program, while larger investments are made through their venture capital fund. To receive funding, ventures must demonstrate a sustainable business model with the potential to deliver meaningful social or environmental outcomes. Maze uses the Impact Management Project framework to assess and measure impact. Some recent investments include GoParity, a crowdlending platform for sustainable projects, and Iconoclass, a sales training program. Maze has partnered with over 100 early-stage ventures to date, which have collectively raised over €200 million in total investment. As a certified B Corporation, Maze is committed to using business as a force for good and aims to prove that impact is the greatest economic opportunity of our time.
