Adasina Social Capital (“Adasina”) is an investment and financial activism firm that serves as a critical bridge between financial markets and social justice movements for the benefit of people and our planet. Adasina uses four interlocking levers to enact large-scale, systemic change: People, Investments, Campaigns, and Education.
We believe that transformed systems are best created by people outside of traditional power structures who carry new perspectives. By building a diverse team that reflects the communities for which we seek justice, we created a new kind of investing based on the needs of those most impacted by our existing inequitable systems. In partnership with social justice organizations within these communities, we define the criteria that guide our investments. We use this community-sourced wisdom to educate and mobilize other investors with campaigns that amplify the needs, perspectives, and voices of impacted communities throughout the financial system.
We believe that community-sourced impact data should set the standards for how companies and governments participate in racial, gender, economic, and climate justice. With Adasina, investors can seek both financial and social returns that are accountable to the well-being of the people and planet they impact.
Adasina Social Capital is the sister company of Robasciotti & Philipson, a registered investment advisory firm with over 15 years of experience creating social justice portfolios for clients. We are majority-owned and operated by women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Both companies are headquartered in San Francisco and maintain client relationships throughout the United States.

We also comply with SEC regulations and therefore do not accept recommendations or endorsements on any of our social media channels.

Join our first global summit - InvestHer Summit, Paris 29-30th June 2023. Learn more here: https://investhersummit.com
Our global advocacy and thought leadership on access to capital and womens economic empowerment has been recognised and we are part of W20 engagement group proposing policy recommendations to the G20 on entrepreneurship and access to capital for women entrepreneurs.
Weve just launched the InvestHer FUNDER directory - first global directory of sources of funding, ranked by how women founder friendly they are, which is going to be a game-changer for women entrepreneurs looking for the right investors (https://funderdirectory.globalinvesther.com). During Covid, we created the FOUNDER directory - the first global directory of companies founded by women and mixed teams, so they could be more easily found by investors and customers (https://directory.globalinvesther.com).
On June 29th & 30th, we will hold the first InvestHer Summit, held in Paris, creating the gathering place for global policy makers, corporates, investors and women founders to have the conversations and make the commitments to change the funding game together. Join us! https://investhersummit.com
