We held a great webinar on values-based/social investing with Gail Ball, Managing Partner at Alumni Ventures Group, where she leads three VC funds – Social Impact Fund, Women’s Fund and Chestnut Street Ventures (for Penn grads). She also leads the firm’s diversity and inclusion and impact-investing efforts.
With many current or future investors searching for the “double bottom line”, making investments that not only realize big returns, but also fulfill a larger mission and make a real impact is an important decision in that process.
We want it…and if we can do it, the world will be a better place: aligning our investing with our values.
The webinar covers:
- What it means to invest with your values.
- Various ways an investor might assess opportunities that align with both for-profit and for-good goals.
- Trends in impact-based investing, in particular investing in women.
- The state of women in venture – both for investors and entrepreneurs.
- The big difference between philanthropy and values-based investing for returns.
