Impact-driven startups: a huge opportunity for the venture capital industry
Impact Investing entails more than just the exclusion criteria in the investment process. It also includes the intention to create a measurable positive social and/or environmental impact alongside the generation of a financial return.
Impact Investing is becoming increasingly important along all asset classes, including the venture capital industry. However, the term impact is often confused with charity and philanthropy.
Therefore, it is essential to inspire and educate the venture capital industry about the opportunities that investing in impact-driven companies brings.
Gathering’s goals:
_Inspire VC Investors to share their experiences in deploying capital towards impact-driven companies.
_Educate VC Investors as to what an impact-driven company is, and to show that it is possible to achieve a financial return while at the same time generating a positive impact.
