In this conversation from Venturewave’s Global Advisory Council, Alan Foy joins Anne Finucane (former Vice Chair, Bank of America) and The Edge of U2 to explore the role of creativity, governance and accountability in building a global standard for impact. The discussion looks beyond slogans to what actually drives measurable outcomes, clear objectives, transparent reporting and alignment between founders, investors and stakeholders.

The speakers reflect on the moral responsibility of capital, the next generation’s expectations of how wealth should be stewarded, and why rigorous impact measurement frameworks are essential if we are to move from good intentions to real-world results. They also consider how cross-border collaboration and technology can accelerate positive change while respecting local context. It is a concise statement of

Venturewave’s belief is that impact and performance reinforce one another when discipline meets imagination.

Why this conversation matters

Creativity within discipline: When imagination operates inside clear frameworks, it generates lasting and measurable impact.

Proof over promise: Real impact demands evidence with defined goals, credible data, and transparent reporting.

Shared purpose: The strongest results arise when founders and investors align their values and objectives from the outset.

Collaborative scale: Cross-border partnerships and sector collaboration are vital to expand solutions responsibly and sustain momentum.
