Today is an exciting day at Headline – a fresh $865M in Growth funding to back later-stage tech companies, complete with a new strategy and team to execute it. In celebration of this milestone, we sat down with Fortune and Sifted to tell the Headline story, which spans continents and decades. Mathias Schilling, Christian Leybold, Thomas Gieselmann, Romero Rodrigues, and new Head of Growth Shalini Rao talk about where we’ve been - and what’s next for Headline. Read the full pieces below.

The results are in – 2023 was our most impactful year yet! 🌟 129 new members and $502m in pledges, meaning our community has collectively pledged $10 billion to charity to date. 🎉 A record $84m donated to our high-impact recommendations, funding work that is saving lives, scaling climate innovations, and improving AI safety and biosecurity. 🚀 We hosted 29 global events, facilitated nearly $300m in contributions and grants, published major research, grew our team, scaled our operations, and much more. Our 2023 Impact Report celebrates everything we achieved last year. We are incredibly grateful to our members, donors, and partner organizations for making our work possible. https://lnkd.in/gRAf8wy6

Pledge Ventures is driven by a dual mission, to drive returns for LPs and power the charitable work of Founders Pledge. From the outset, we envisaged a fundamentally different type of VC, one where profit and purpose could co-exist harmoniously. Much of the hard work is still ahead of us but we've come a long way in the last months, and making our first donation to Founders Pledge is an exciting indication that this model can work! A big thanks to the team at Headline for helping us to get here, as well as our amazing LPs, portfolio companies and Investment Committee!

At the end of 2023, we received our first donation from our partner fund, Pledge Ventures. The significance? A huge step towards realizing the transformational potential of this new fundraising model, which could fundamentally change the way we (and other charities) sustain ourselves. Find out why that’s cause to celebrate in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/gNmCdn6x
