Delivering Impact Equitably: Insights from GAC 2024
This panel offers deep insights into impact investing, intergenerational wealth creation, and policy-driven shifts, such as the Inflation Reduction Act. The conversation emphasised the need for outcomes, not just intent, in business and capital deployment.
Key topics included the power of mission-driven capital and the importance of strategic partnerships in underserved markets. The panellists discussed how venture capital must not only scale technology but also ensure that the outcomes of innovation are inclusive. This means funding infrastructure, education, and employment opportunities that serve the broader economy, not just high-growth sectors.
GAC 2024 highlighted that the next wave of high-performing portfolios will be defined by more than returns—they will be measured by what they build, who they include, and how they endure.
At Venturewave, we see delivering impact equitably as a strategic imperative—one that defines the next generation of sustainable investing.
