Blisce is the first B-Corp certified venture capital firm, founded by Alexandre Mars—who sold companies to Publicis and BlackBerry before starting both Blisce and the philanthropy platform Epic—and it commits 20% of carried interest and 5% of its time to nonprofit causes, while requiring portfolio companies to undergo regular ESG evaluations and interview at least one diverse candidate for every senior leadership opening. The firm has backed well-known consumer brands like Spotify, Pinterest, and Too Good To Go, expanded into climate investing by bringing in founders from its own portfolio to lead the effort, and connects to a wider give-back network through Mars's Epic Pledge, which encourages founders and investors to donate a share of their proceeds.
