So good to see you again Check! Looking forward to connecting with you and Diarra Smith next time I’m in London!
Looks brilliant. I'd be interested to see how consistent different VCs are in how they think about impact. I imagine that even within impact VC there are big differences?
Such a well put together event! Thanks to ImpactVC Better Society Capital and the whole team!

1wI firmly believe impact investing can help us solve some of societies biggest challenges. I believe the not for profit sector should lean into impact investing to support innovations in their space, unlocking innovative funding vehicles, just as Save the Children Global Ventures has done. Great to see the UK playing a leading role in this space…🌍🌱
