This session will explore the efforts, successes, and learnings from three leaders of innovative ‘social acquisition’ funds and companies who have created models to evolve ‘main street’ towards a regenerative economic transition. SMEs are the backbone of national economies, yet as the ‘Silver Tsunami’ of baby boomer-owned businesses approaches, the lack of succession planning poses a significant challenge. However, within this challenge lies an opportunity for impact acquisitions to drive a shift towards regenerative economic transition.
Join us as we delve into the strategies employed by these pioneers in navigating the acquisition landscape with a focus on social impact. We will examine differences between the Regenerative Capital Group model focusing on a wider lens of evolving acquired businesses with Regenerative value creation KPIs, inclusive DEI and majority ownership models and outcomes at New Majority Capital, as well as charity-owned social acquisitions at Just Like Family, and the differences, pros, cons, as well as overall support of each others models.
From preserving local businesses to fostering sustainability and community resilience, our panelists will share insights on how they are leveraging this critical juncture to catalyze positive change. Whether it’s through innovative financing mechanisms, collaborative partnerships, or cultural shifts within the business ecosystem, these leaders are at the forefront of reshaping ‘main street’ for a more equitable, and regenerative future.
