Is impact investing still in lock-down?
Impact Agora is a new industry initiative, sponsored by Barclays and powered by Delio, to convene an institutional marketplace for impact investing. It brings together accelerators, venture funds, corporates, wealth managers, and family offices who invest in, and share, impact deals and funds.
The ecosystem’s goal is to provide shared technology and build a community of member institutions. This will help to reduce barriers to investment and raise the profile of impact investing intermediaries and entrepreneurs.
In their first of a series of webinars, the Impact Agora team ask whether impact investing is still in lockdown as the world adapts to the Covid-19 pandemic. Our guest speakers include senior figures from some of the leading players in the impact investing space:
- Cansu Deniz Bayrak, Senior Partner at Bethnal Green Ventures
- Pippa Gawley, Founder at Zero Carbon Capital
- Jeremy Rogers, Chief Investment Officer at Big Society Capital
- Lisa Barclay, Investment Director at Nesta Impact Investments
During the webinar, our panellists share their thoughts on a wide variety of topics, including:
- What businesses and funds are making progress with capital raising?
- What are investors’ medium / long term views?
- Who is still investing and at what pace?
- What advice do they have for managing investor relationships during these times?
