This Week's Podcasts

🎧 This Week in Impact. Host Brian Walsh takes up ImpactAlpha’s top stories with editor David Bank. Up this week: In Western North Carolina, community investments beget climate resilience and recovery; a new wave of foundations and family offices are investing for impact first; and big raises for climate funds at opposite ends of the market.

The Week’s Call

New impact-first LPs are starting with the problem, not the returns (video). Hundreds of Agents of Impact took a break from the US midterm election commentary to hear from a new set of capital allocators who are investing for “impact first.” Three newish impact-first LPs, the IKEA Foundation, Arnold Ventures and Earlystone, laid out their investment theses on this week’s Agents of Impact Call (see, “‘Impact first’ lets a new set of LPs match their capital to the challenges”). Their mandates differ, but they share a common premise: Start with the problem to be solved, design your investments appropriately, and let the returns follow.
