💡 My journey through the intersection of impact investing and the creative economy, reinforced by insights from Upstart Co-Lab's founding partner, Laura Callanan, has deepened my understanding and commitment to this vital cause. This path, enriched by the creative sectors' potential to drive social and economic development, has been enlightening. The exploration highlighted how the creative economy can create jobs, foster innovation, and enhance cultural diversity. 🌱 Delving into the nuances of aligning financial investments with creative endeavors illuminated both challenges and opportunities, reinforcing the importance of supporting the creative industry for sustainable development. 🎼 Key Insights: • The transformative role of the creative economy in financial inclusion, workforce, and community development. • The critical intersection of creativity and impact investing, unveiling untapped opportunities for growth. • Upstart Co-Lab's guidance, particularly from Director Ward, whose mentorship in our first batch was invaluable, showcasing the synergy between creative minds and investors for a more inclusive future. 🪂 At 3dots Accelerator, inspired by the mentorship and insights from Upstart Co-Lab, and especially from the director Ward Wolff, we're propelled to integrate these principles into our mission, driving us towards fostering a vibrant, inclusive creative economy. 🤝 This experience has been a clarion call to action, encouraging us to further embrace these principles in our endeavors.

✨ Last Thursday, we had a truly stellar session on #impactcarry in our MORE IMPACT FOR LUNCH SERIES. A heartfelt thank you goes to the many #impact aficionados and practitioners for attending and contributing to this highlight, especially to our super passionate and excellent panellists: • Kelley Luyken (Aurum Impact) • Diederik Wokke (Wire Group) • Lara Viada (Creas) • Alex Bakir (Norrsken Accelator)   💡 A lot of inspiration and ideas were sparked around this still relatively novel topic. Here are just a few key takeaways for those who couldn't be with us:   📈 The impact carry framework from the European Investment Fund (EIF) is making a dent in the ecosystem, and around 150 European impact funds are already embedding impact-linked compensation. 👟 Impact carry is still in kids' shoes and needs to grow and mature in terms of impact data #comparability. Especially social impact is very difficult to compare. Being humble about #attribution is also important and standardization is a must to make progress with this model. 🤝 LP and GP relationships span multiple years and need to have the courage to work things out together in practice while sharing the same goal. Industry #collaboration is key to further develop the impact carry model. 🚀 Achieving true impact needs investor #additionality and #intentionality. Impact carry is just one puzzle piece in the box to get there but an important one that separates the impact doers from the impact washers.   👀 If you want to learn more about this exciting topic, feel free to check out the work of the Impact Linked Compensation project: https://impactlinked.co/ 🙌 Want to be part of our next highlight?
