Reaction is a Palo Alto–based global organization in the venture capital and private equity space, focused on addressing the world’s most challenging problems. It was founded by more than 200 Stanford alumni executives spanning 47 countries, reflecting a diverse leadership base. The firm’s stated mission is to improve a billion lives within a decade by promoting thought leadership and scaling innovations with the potential to change the world. Reaction emphasizes exponential change, citing that the next decade will see more innovations across more countries and industries than the previous fifty years, even as many fail to reach the markets that need them. Its activity centers on partnering with innovators and leaders to accelerate scalable solutions to global issues. In late 2020, Reaction formed a partnership with Mango Materials, a biodegradable plastics company pursuing a sustainable closed-loop process that converts methane into carbon-negative materials.
