About

Capital with a purpose

Gosbert works where capital, impact and entrepreneurship meet, across the UK, Africa and Asia.

He is co-founder of Startup Discovery and General Partner at Future Impact Ventures. Together they back founders and build the ecosystems around them.

Beyond these, he is a Non-Executive Director at Powering Communities CIC and a member of the Ethnic Minority Business Group at the UK Department for Business and Trade. He is also a member of Sporting Thinking, which brings together the power of sport and investment to create positive social impact.

His work has brought together partners including Shell Foundation, Autodesk, Samsung, the Greater London Authority and the Australian Government to support climate innovation around the world.

On stage, he speaks about redirecting capital to the people building real solutions, the power of government policy to unlock entrepreneurial talent, and entrepreneurship as one of the most powerful drivers of social mobility.
