Venture Capital impact Investing Firm
“I enjoyed the case study, particularly because it brought different perspectives on how to analyze the potential for impact and actions to consider when transforming to the portfolio. The explicit connection of a theory of change to financial markets was particularly helpful as well. We have just started using this to help bridge conversations between our programmatic foundation team and our investment team.”
