An Impact for Breakfast Session

18th September 2025
8:30 – 10:00 AM

Dear Member,

We are delighted to invite you to our next Impact for Breakfast session, where we will explore the theme: “What do investors look for in impact projects?”

Bridging perspectives in impact investing

For entrepreneurs and project leaders, understanding what resonates with investors can be the difference between unlocking growth capital and missing out. For investors, being clear about expectations helps uncover stronger, more scalable opportunities. Yet priorities vary: some emphasize scale, others focus on measurable impact, financial resilience, or innovation. This session brings together a mix of investor perspectives to share candid insights into how they evaluate opportunities. By learning from different approaches, our community will gain a richer view of what drives investment decisions in the impact space.
