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

Flip the script: Let’s STOP talking about WHAT and START talking about WHO - Who are the people funding the ventures, initiatives, and companies that support a just society?

Ivy Jack Diverse Investing Collective

Investing often triggers a FOMO emotion. No one wants to miss out on the next big deal or funding the hottest talent, yet the analog algorithm continues to reinforce that anyone who is underfunded and underexposed must be un- investable. This is simply not true. Only 14% of fund managers are women, and this number hasn’t changed in twenty years; meanwhile the underrepresentation of Black, Brown, and Indigenous people is acute. Disruptive ideas often meet resistance. Similarly, the idea that women, Black, Brown, and Indigenous people may be the best investors is radical. Join us for a discussion with investors that understand and have evidence that transforming the system begins with changing the people who are allocating capital. Learn more about the data they incorporate, the diligence tools they employ and the portfolios they are building to future-proof alpha. Let’s be more intentional in generating the type impact that can change the world.
