We love to see Allison Gibson, our Chief Program Officer sharing her expertise and insights always 💡
"A lot of these women I work with don't realize they are already entrepreneurs!

We work in impact. We want our investments to be impactful. But are they actually? 🤔 Our team cares a lot about creating positive impact through investing, and we felt pretty confident that our investments were walking the walk … note “were” and not “are.” That’s why Spring’s Luan Tolosa, Shantanu Mehta, and Erin Skillen teamed up with Genus Capital Management Chief Growth Officer, Shannon Ward, to put our investments to the test. How impactful are they really? (Spoiler: it got competitive! 😏) Who do you think will win? Come back tomorrow to find out! 🎉 #ImpactInvesting #PositiveImpact #InvestWithPurpose #SocialImpact #ImpactfulInvestments #SustainableFinance #InvestForGood #ImpactMatters #ESGInvesting #MakingADifference
