Impact Investment Thesis Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. An investment thesis states what you will invest in, why it will be successful, and what outcome you anticipate.\xa0 It\u2019s important to determine your investment thesis for impact investing. Here are some guidelines: Impact investing proposes to invest in innovative companies that seek to change the world. This change takes place in social and environmental areas such as those specified in the United Nations Sustainable Development goals.\xa0 Impact investing looks to make a measurable change, so the investment must show a metric result on specific criteria. Impact investing often focuses on companies in healthcare, education, food, and cleantech. The investment thesis specifies the revenue, sector, and stage of the companies that meet its criteria so you can focus your deal flow efforts. Impact investing - as in all investment theses - seeks a positive return on investment at the upper range of market returns. Impact investing can be applied at all levels of investment.\xa0\xa0 At the angel level, it fills a gap in the market by focusing on early-stage innovation.\xa0 Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.Let\u2019s go startup something today. ____________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: \xa0 Check out our other podcasts here: \xa0 For Investors check out: \xa0 For Startups check out: \xa0 For eGuides check out: \xa0 For upcoming Events, check out \xa0\xa0 For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group\xa0\xa0\xa0 Please , share, and leave a review.
