Impact investors - including philanthropists - have the most challenging role in the ecosystem. While change agents tend to have a high level of confidence and moral certainty, investors find themselves balancing a wide range of variables.

Beyond financial risk and return, investors are juggling second-and third-dimension impacts involving human welfare and environmental impacts, resulting in a decision matrix influenced by emerging standards and with uncertain returns. The flow of social and intellectual capital can both multiply and overshadow the effect of financial capital on the acceleration of enterprise. As a result, we’re all seeking something slightly different.
