Impact Investing in the Greater Philadelphia Region: The Benefits, Challenges, and Opportunities

Although the Philadelphia region is a leading hub for the impact investing movement nationally, it can be challenging to identify and evaluate local impact investment opportunities for those who want to drive outcomes in their own backyard. That's especially true for those who are still finding their way in aligning their financial assets with their values.

Join ImpactPHL for a discussion with investors that have experience using “local” as an impact investment lens. Panelists will also share details about a locally-focused impact investment fund that is currently in development and share their selection and due diligence methodology.

Panelists for this webinar include:

• John Moore has been a full-time angel investor since 2005 with Robin Hood Ventures and Social Venture Circle, where he leads the local Philadelphia chapter.
• Michael O’Bryan is the Founder of Humanature, a consultancy working with nonprofits, businesses, local government agencies and their employees to transform how they understand and support human development, interaction, and performance.
• Catherine Griffin is the Founder of ImpactableX Analytics whose framework allows investors to obtain the core metrics and impact operations as they relate to unit-economics, leveraging research and data to inform key assumptions.
• Matt Taylor is a partner of Permit Capital Advisors, LLC, an independent, employee-owned investment advisory firm that focuses on the investment needs of institutions and high net worth investors.
