Capricorn Investment Group

Capricorn Investment Group is a specialized investment management firm founded with the mission to demonstrate that sustainable investment practices can yield superior risk-adjusted returns. Established in 2000, the firm was created to manage the assets of Jeff Skoll, the first president of eBay. Since then, it has grown significantly, managing billions of dollars for various institutional clients and impact investors globally.

The firm is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, with major operational offices in New York City. As a pioneer in the impact investing space, Capricorn focuses on sectors such as clean technology, renewable energy, and sustainable agriculture. Their investment strategy is rooted in the belief that long-term environmental and social sustainability are essential drivers of financial performance in the modern global economy.

Capricorn Investment Group operates as an independent private partnership. While it originated from the Skoll family office, it has evolved into a fully-fledged institutional investment manager. The firm remains under the ultimate ownership of its founding partners and key principals, ensuring its commitment to mission-aligned investing remains at the core of its corporate identity through 2026 and beyond.
