Today it was announced that in Q4 2023, Impact X Capital Partners LLP started to invest from its #secondfund, Impact X Global I. A Reuters article by sustainable finance editor, Simon Jessop highlights capital allocations from Bank of America, Visa Foundation, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust as well as Atomico. These catalytic asset allocators are backing Impact X to build on a track record started in 2019 that includes investments in insurtech unicorn, Marshmallow; circular economy leader Raylo, healthtech standout Health & Her Ltd, as well as animation innovator YouNeek Studios. These companies demonstrate Impact X's thesis that differentiated deal flow, venture scale returns and job creation result from investing in underrepresented entrepreneurs.
