## TL;DR

BrightEdge is the American Cancer Society's own venture fund. It invests donated money in start-ups working on cancer and returns any gains to the charity's mission.

## Summary

ACS BrightEdge is the impact venture capital arm of the American Cancer Society, investing philanthropic capital in early-stage companies developing cancer therapeutics, diagnostics, devices and care delivery tools, with returns recycled into the Society's research and patient programmes. It is one of the clearest examples of a disease charity acting as an investor rather than a grant-maker. Portfolio links in OnCo are derived from the startup records that name it.
