Liet van Beuningen is joining as our chair and our new treasurer is Maurits Schouten. Meanwhile we've been working hard on some final events before the summer break as well as preparing for the fall & winter season. Would you like to learn more about impact investing and gain insights into the portfolio's of experienced impact investors, or dive into the topic of investing in food & regeneration? Join us for our upcoming online events! We'd love to meet new impact investors in person, either one-on-one or at one of our gatherings in Amsterdam and Gent this fall. Send us an email if you're interested in meeting up. This is our last newsletter before the holidays and we will be back in September. Kind regards, P.S. We are looking for a Businnes Development Manager to join our team. Please share our vacancy with your network. "It helps to have a financial background, but in the end it’s a learning process for everyone! " Contribute to change Maurits is a philanthropist and social impact investor, who left a long career in banking to focus on impact. It's important that the impact he invests in can be brought to scale and Maurits is particularly involved in promoting the transition to plant-based food. PYM's Newsroom One of our beloved founders, Frank van Beuningen, spoke with the Impact Investor Podcast about starting the Impact Investing movement in the Netherlands and how he sees its future. Deep Dive Life Cycle Analysis: what is it, and what can it offer investors?Get insights into how you as an investor can build a foundation for a transparent and effective impact measurement process. We mine raw materials, make stuff from them, use them and then throw them away. This no longer works. We need a circular economy and investments can help us get there. The democratization of access to private equity and startup investing has taken off — making it a great time for you to start considering why and how to start investing in startups. There are some identifiable trends that will run through this period of upheaval. These "known knowns", or relative certainties, can be a foundation for long-term investing. Funds to explore Twelve families from the PYM community made the first closing of the SI3 Equal Opportunity Fund possible, saying “yes” to solving societal issues close to home. Startups with game-changing business models are a key driver in closing the justice gap. The Innovating Justice Fund enables fast growing ventures with capital to scale their impact. The drinking water sector in emerging economies is investment-ready and a new blended finance equity fund is stepping up to fill in the gaps.
