Social Proof
We could talk about ourselves, but it’s better to hear it from others.

Mauro Cozzi
Co-Founder and CEO, Emitwise
I often find myself telling people that Sarah Cone has been the single most impactful person in Emitwise’s history to date. Given our experience working with them, and knowing that they work like that with all their startups, frankly, I have no doubt Social Impact Capital will soon be recognized as one of the leading funds in the world. The introduced us to one of our largest customers and the top-tier VC that led of our next round. Sarah is always the first to reply to board decks with substantive comments. It’s a level of conviction, immediate action, and deep support which is quite rare in this world. SIC is one the few investors I’ve worked with that actually learn what you’re doing, and learn it to the point they could easily be part of the team. That’s why they’re like no other.

James Morrison
Founder and President, Cy Biopharma
Sarah supported Cy in our mission to treat chronic pain with serotonin receptor agonists over opioids back when the idea was radical. It is well-known that she really does the research prior to investing, but perhaps less reported how much she continues to do the work long after: diligently keeping knowledge up to date, judiciously guiding strategy across the business, and generously facilitating connections across her incredible network. Sarah has perfectly balanced being by our side both quietly and proudly, patiently and impatiently, through thick, thin and all between. We continue to value her style and we hope to be lucky enough to join the ranks of SICs investors in the future!
