# Gaia Impact Ventures Limited
Gaia Impact Ventures is a London-based boutique investment advisory firm specialising in impact-driven capital allocation. The firm connects innovative startups with institutional investors, family offices, and private clients, bridging a critical gap between visionary enterprises and purpose-driven capital.
Founded by Duygu Gözeler Porchet, who spent 15 years at leading global banks identifying the disconnect between capital allocation and sustainable value creation, Gaia deliberately redirects investment toward businesses addressing real-world challenges. The firm serves impact-focused entrepreneurs seeking growth capital and impact investors—from institutional bodies to family offices—looking to deploy capital with measurable social and environmental returns.
What distinguishes Gaia is their conviction that financial returns and meaningful impact are complementary, not contradictory. Rather than treating impact as a constraint on returns, they identify businesses that deliver both simultaneously. The firm applies a gender-lens investment approach, actively supporting female leadership throughout the entrepreneurial ecosystem—a particular focus for Porchet as a finance professional and mother.
Their methodology combines rigorous financial analysis with strategic partnership development, underpinned by transparency and integrity. Gaia moves beyond transactional capital introduction, instead deeply engaging with stakeholder outcomes and sustainable value creation. With over 15 years of accumulated industry expertise, they leverage established cross-border networks and proven methodologies to achieve exceptional outcomes.
