Machtelt Groothuis is a founding partner of Rubio Impact Ventures, a Dutch VC firm pioneering the integration of financial returns with measurable social and environmental impact. With a background in consulting and private equity at firms like McKinsey, 3i, and AlpInvest, and an MBA from INSEAD, she shifted focus to impact investing in 2009. At Rubio, she helped design a unique carry model linking investor rewards to both profit and impact targets. Machtelt believes that purpose-driven ventures can scale and deliver solid financial returns, a combination she sees as essential for achieving systemic change.

On December 2nd, Machtelt will tell about Rubio's mission to team up with entrepreneurs who build scalable solutions for global problems and accelerate system-change. "The most valuable companies of our time are the ones solving humanity's biggest problems."
