Intro to Impact Investing

Impact Capital Stacks & Management Strategies

Eric Maltzer, Partner, Medora Ventures

As the growth of impact investing has accelerated in recent years, so have the capital structures of impact funds diversified. However, though the ecosystem of impact capital stacks is as varied as ever, not all are succeeding. In this module, we will talk about the shapes, sizes, and characteristics of impact capital stacks; we will learn to distinguish between the funds that succeed and the funds that struggle; as the discussion develops, we will address what cross-sector financial models have been tried already, what we can learn from them, and how we might continue to innovate in the coming years.
