Total Values

About Us

Total Values compares the impact of any investment or grant and builds portfolios optimized for goals beyond risk-adjusted return. If we get this right, we change how trillions in capital get allocated by tapping into values that investors already care about but have never been able to quantify credibly and act on. We're backed by UChicago (Rustandy Center, Tarrson Fellowship) and beginning pilots with our first foundation partners. Our stack combines causal inference, evidence synthesis from peer-reviewed literature, and multi-objective portfolio optimization. We're a small team solving a hard problem at the intersection of AI, finance, and social impact.
