- This programme was developed to be able to allow a space for learning for organisations that allocate impact capital that are really interested in the next generation of deal structures and fund structures, and how to use technology to be able to take their impact to the next level, to brainstorm ideas, to be able to be exposed to new ways of doing impact deals, best practises around those, and really what are the ways we should be thinking about how the impact space is evolving and how we can practically take those tools into our own deals, our own portfolios and the ways that we're managing capital. - What we do in this course is we really open up some of the most innovative financing structures. We look at case studies, we look at the, I would say the bleeding edge of innovation in the finance space. - So we look at technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, cellular agriculture, drones, anything you can think of that really has an exponential adoption or growth pattern. And so looking at how those technologies can actually help impact organisations to do 10 times more than they've been able to do in the past. - I think a programme like this is needed because we need the brightest and best people applying their minds to solving the social problems that exist for us right now. - We know that the impact space is very different from traditional startups and some of the structures in we have in say Silicon Valley and other locations just aren't a good fit when your goal is really about outcomes that are good for the world. - I've learned a lot of very concrete techniques. I feel this programme has struck a really good balance between practical things that you can do, such as a new way of modelling a product for entrepreneurs to very big picture thinking and issues. - If you're on the fence about doing this course or not, you won't find a room full of people who are more engaged and have more in-depth insight and practical experience of this space. So if you're keen to make impact at scale and use a range of innovative structures, then this is definitely the course for you. - I got everything I wanted to get out of this course. What I was really looking for was to be reinvigorated for impact finance and into my career. And I definitely found that here. - I think listening to people and their experiences, they come from a variety of backgrounds, from a variety of experiences, and I think listening to those has been very valuable in terms of shortcutting a lot of the, you know, I guess the troubles that you sometimes face when you enter into innovation finance. I think there's been plenty of depth with the discussions. So it's been really valuable here. And I guess network with highly experienced people and a lot like-minded people. - And you want to elevate your game. You want to better serve your clients, you want to better serve your principles, and it's great to question yourself as well and be questioned by others, and see things from different perspectives. So that has been amazing. I think it's beyond ourselves. It's creating long-lasting solutions, which we can leave behind which work.
