We use this framework to help founders create scaleable and extremely successful businesses that improve lives and the livelihoods of everyone. Our belief is that companies of the next generation will be more aligned with social values. If founders embrace responsible innovation from the very beginning of company creation and bring it up at all stages, they will be able to build lasting companies that continue to grow over time. It is not just an ESG or "impact investing" policy. This strategy is designed to help the ecosystem of venture capitalists create a new movement and offer a roadmap to the future. These are the seven principles of responsible innovation: Innovation is a deliberate act Advance Inclusive Prosperity Respect people and their privacy Keep track of accountability and transparency Develop Sustainable Living Promote Diversity Promoting a Healthy Society
