  • All things #ImpactInvesting

    Together with ImpactAlpha’s “The Brief” (Daily Newsletter) this is the best way to stay up to date and “in the know” of what’s happening in the world of Impact Investing. The show usually entertains contrasting ways, relevant topics, and the occasional subject matter expert. In my mind, a must for any practitioner, wannabe practitioner, or anyone for that matter (in the end we are all Impact Investors whether we want to or not).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Los Angeles lowers the cost and complexity of capital for affordable housing + Big DAF platforms on notice
Q: So walk us through the capital stack here.
La Casa acts as a regional housing authority and uses a county sales tax revenue stream to backstop the bond, which reduces risk and lowers interest rates, enabling cheaper, quicker financing for nonprofit housing developers.
Shareholders fight for the right to proxy vote + Responsible look to assert human agency over the future of AI
Q: How can private investors influence management in private AI companies?
Even in private firms, investors can exert influence by engaging with management, supporting governance frameworks, and backing initiatives that ensure responsible AI development and policy alignment before these companies go public.
Shareholders fight for the right to proxy vote + Responsible look to assert human agency over the future of AI
Q: What's the role for impact investors in the current AI investment boom?
Impact investors can push for responsible AI development by advocating for guardrails, transparency, and accountability, and by supporting startups and funds that embed governance and ethics into their product design and data practices.
Pulling climate tech to commercial scale with the energy demand from data centers
Q: Is this a good time or a bad time to be a clean tech investor given current volatility?
Lippert describes it as decidedly both: volatility challenges early-stage funding, but demand for AI-enabled energy solutions and data-center needs provides a robust tailwind, creating opportunities to accelerate commercialization.
Pulling policy and financial levers for housing affordability with Carol Galante
Q: What are the financial innovations and the role of private investors in reducing the cost of capital and layers in affordable housing financing?
Public funding at the regional level can de-risk projects, provide early-stage capital, and enable more patient, long-term financing; private investors can participate through aggregated portfolios and regional structures, potentially co-investing at the regional level to achieve scale and efficiency.
