Announcing the SOCAP24 Agenda — Going Deeper: Catalyzing Systems Change!

Catalyzing Transformation: Revolutionizing Impact Investment with Technological Innovations

Daniela Kandel Evergreen Innovation Platform

For this panel, we’re diving into how investor involvement transforms big-impact projects into businesses that can stand on their own and grow. Initially, we focused on the big picture of impact investing. Now, we’re zooming in on the special role of investors who don’t just understand the social and business sides but also the tech innovations driving change. These skills are key not only for those putting money in but also for the businesses themselves, tackling the tough mix of tech, finance, and social impact.

But here’s the rub: finding enough of these ripe-for-investment projects is tough. This challenge grows when you consider that not everyone can easily get this kind of funding. In our session, we’ll challenge you to think about these hurdles. We’ll look at how savvy founders on the front lines craft a lineup of projects ready for investment and strategize on catalytic funding. We’ll explore how they spot potential winners and support them through crucial growth phases, pulling in the right people and resources at each step. This approach not only meets the financial and practical needs of these standout projects but also brings together the best tactics in the game-changing world of impact investing.
