1h 4m
The Financial Services Network (FSN) and YPO Impact Investing Initiative (Y3i) are bringing impact investors and entrepreneurs together. Six selected YPO member-led or affiliated companies will have five minutes to deliver an elevator pitch on the company’s mission, strategy and value proposition to raise capital in supporting their sustainable business growth.
Following each presentation there will be a five-minute Q&A session for members to ask questions, provide feedback and express interest in the investment opportunity; there will be also a breakout room setting at the end where participants can further learn from each of the founders who presented. The event will create an interactive marketplace for members and potential investors to learn more about investment opportunities in the fintech industry in Africa.
To support more knowledge and practice of impact investing, the Deal, Financial Services, Personal Investing and Sustainable Business Networks have joined forces to promote the YPO Impact Investing Initiative Y3i through events such as this one. As YPOers, we understand that societal and business needs will continue to converge in the coming decades, and that this change is creating new opportunities like impact investing. Through sharing our experiences, we can learn, grow and accelerate positive change together.
