ICONIQ Capital

We’re excited to see our founding partner Michael Anders representing ICONIQ Impact on stage at the #ForbesIconoclast Summit.   To move the needle on issues like climate change, gender equity, poverty, and the like, it's imperative that we move capital with urgency and rigor. It’s also essential that we do so with equity at the center, trusting grantees and those closest to the issues to design and implement the strategies they see fit.

Our founding partner Divesh Makan sat down with Bloomberg TV host and legendary investor David Rubenstein for a rare wide-ranging interview about ICONIQ Capital’s birth, our investment strategy, the picks and shovels of AI, collaborative philanthropy, and the remarkable community upon which we’re built. Learn about who we are, what we do, and, most importantly, why we do it. Watch it here: Wealth with David Rubenstein https://lnkd.in/g5sJCEqM

We are thrilled to welcome Alex Gorsky—former Chairman and CEO of Johnson & Johnson—to the ICONIQ Growth team as a General Partner. Alex has spent his career at the forefront of healthcare innovation. He joined Johnson & Johnson as a sales representative in 1988, grew up at the company, and more than tripled J&J’s share price during his nine-year tenure as CEO. Over the last few years, Alex has become a treasured advisor to ICONIQ Growth, and we are elated to share his expertise with our portfolio companies and founders. In this interview with ICONIQ founding partner Divesh Makan, learn more about Alex’s journey, people-centric leadership, and how a new breed of health care technologies could improve the lives of everyone, now and into the future. https://bit.ly/44B9lnP

We are horrified and heartbroken over the continuing devastation, death, and trauma that began with Saturday’s unprecedented attack on civilians in Israel by the militant group Hamas. Terrorism is never justifiable, cruelty is never acceptable, and the murder of innocent people is never defensible.   ICONIQ stands in solidarity with the people of Israel and all those who are suffering as a result of these deplorable acts of aggression. Our thoughts go out to our friends, family, and partners in the region, and every single person affected by the recent atrocities. Along with our team, our partners, and the ICONIQ community, we are providing financial support to humanitarian organizations responding to the crisis.    We must never forget that our shared humanity transcends all else. Together, may we strive for a world where peace and understanding prevail.   —ICONIQ

Roughly 4.5 million women and infants die each year from mostly detectable, treatable complications during pregnancy and childbirth. That amounts to a mother or baby dying every seven seconds. That’s why ICONIQ Impact—our platform for collaborative philanthropy—along with Lever for Change and The Patchwork Collective are honored to announce the recipients of the Maternal & Infant Health Award—a $12 million grant competition created to help community leaders improve the quality, safety, and accessibility of maternal healthcare. Please join us in congratulating Lwala Community Alliance, the recipient of the award’s lead $9 million grant! 🎊 🎊 Lwala operates in Kenya, where nearly 70,000 mothers and infants die each year. Almost 99% of these deaths occur in just 15 of the country's 47 counties. Lwala believes that communities themselves are the best untapped resource for combating maternal and infant mortality. That’s why their model, formed in partnership with Dandelion Africa, trains Community Health Workers on how to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care to mothers and babies, helping to reach over one million women who otherwise would not have access to care. In recognition of the critical importance of this work, The Patchwork Collective has also awarded $1 million each to Babies and Mothers Alive, which is scaling its NGO/Government health model to reach one million women in Uganda, and Maya Health Alliance | Wuqu' Kawoq , which provides culturally- and linguistically-relevant care to indigenous communities in Guatemala.
