What Drives Us.

At Meliorate, we’re investing in founder to pre-seed entrepreneurs who are reimagining every aspect of daily life. From revolutionizing how we move and what we wear to reshaping where we live, what we eat, how goods are made, and how we handle waste for a brighter tomorrow.

“ Meliorate has been an outstanding partner of ours from the early days of Simplifyber. We don’t look at Brock as an investor—he’s a close friend and a business partner to us.”
