Welcome to Impact Investing in Action!

The purpose of this conference is simple: begin the long process of creating a more robust, active, and collaborative early-stage impact investing community by bringing together the players in this emerging sector, and introducing them to some of the very best early-stage impact investment opportunities anywhere. We invite you to learn, build trust, and take action to help propel the movement forward. Over the course of the week, please be prepared to contribute to the following discussions: Tuesday, May 22 Entrepreneurs: Visiting local entrepreneurs and meeting together for an entrepreneur-only reception Tuesday night. Attendees: Centered on the early stage impact investing industry and its future, we hope impact investors and field builders will use this time to share lessons learned and best practices and to get to know one another at a special reception for investors and field builders. Wednesday, May 23: Exploring the investor/Investee relationship We hear from both sides of the investor-entrepreneur partnership and discuss how to build the trust and language to mediate the space inbetween, including the role of accelerators like VilCap and Agora Partnerships. We also listen to over a dozen pitches, and retire to dinner at Atlantas spectacular Solarium. Thursday, May 24: The future of early stage impact investing As the field expands, how can different players contribute? What is the future of early stage financing? The day will be filled with conversations about next steps for our field all grounded in discussions of real deals and real opportunities to invest. Over a dozen more pitches ending with an awards ceremony and dinner. Friday, May 25: Human Potential + Capital = Impact The fierce urgency of now: Investor, there is no time to waste. Youve gotten to know the entrepreneurs over drinks and listened to their pitches, now lets talk business, one-on-one with the entrepreneurs (and with Agora and Vilcap staff if desired) in breakout rooms. The conference is over and now there is business at hand.
