Justin Stevens shared his company's mission to invest in frontier technologies with a "world positive" outlook. His interest in this area was sparked by his observations that many founders valued their experience in early and late-stage investing. He has since focused on several verticals, including life science, material science, climate, and robotics, all viewed through a "world positivity" lens.

He prefers the term "world positivity" over "impact investing" because it allows for investments that may not have a clear output or outcome yet, but could still have a positive effect on the world. He acknowledges that measuring success in these investments can be difficult, but stresses that the onus is on investors to articulate why they believe their investments are good for the world.

He emphasizes his preference for investing in companies that have impact as a core part of their business model, rather than just an add-on. Justin believes that if the business model is sound, there are more tailwinds than headwinds for impact-driven initiatives, with governments and customers often supporting the company.

Justin also expressed his desire to help accelerate positive technological change by enabling more founders in the frontier tech space through access to capital and guidance. He highlighted fundraising as the biggest area where founders need help, and revealed that his company uses a database to assist founders in finding the right investors for their companies. 

One of the key frustrations Justin noted was the disorganization in the funding landscape, especially for impact-focused investments. To address this challenge, Overlap Holdings offers support and guidance to founders to help them navigate this complex terrain and increase their chances of success.
