Impact Investing Roadshow

One Manager
One Deal
One In-depth Conversation

Impact investing is too important for bland interviews 🥱

Go Beyond 🚀

Deals are what we talk about in real life. So, let's talk about them on a podcast.

On Impact Investing Roadshow, fund managers dissect a single deal to reveal how they execute on their investment thesis and impact mission in real life, not on a PowerPoint slide.

We start at the beginning with sourcing and the early courtship. Then we dive into deal criteria, negotiated terms, and the diligence and approval processes. Lastly, we examine how managers support management teams pursuing multiple bottom lines.
