How to Break into Impact Investing (Without an MBA) |
I’m one of the youngest impact investors working in the industry today—and I broke into the industry without an MBA or a finance background. I started my career in government and nonprofits, so I know exactly what it takes to navigate an unconventional path into VC and build credibility from day one. Over the past five years, I’ve: -Been named Twice to ImpactAlpha’s Top 10 Voices in impact investing -Lectured at Harvard, Columbia, and the University of Chicago on sustainable finance -Launched a health-tech startup on stage with Chelsea Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative - Served on a City of Chicago committee convening the region’s LP community, hosting breakfasts with 30+ institutional investors -Built a monthly “AI for VC Ops” working group with more than 200 investor signups -Helped launch the world’s first foundation dedicated to refugee entrepreneurs, serving as a founding investment committee member I coach aspiring impact investors because I’ve lived the nontraditional path myself—and I can help you break in, stand out, and build a mission-driven career, even if you don’t come from a traditional background.
