Woman investing for Change:

In recognition of International Women’s Day, we welcome you to our biannual “Women & Impact Investing” spring issue. I applaud the optimistic tone of this issue’s articles, especially by Laurel Mintz of Fabric VC who asserted, “Change isn’t coming, it’s already here. Venture capital is undergoing a seismic shift.” Featured writers include three industry leaders including Deirdre Gibson of Praxis Investment Management, Janine Firpo of Invest for Better, and Elizabeth Alm of Saturna Capital. You will also find the latest Clean Carbon 200 companies list and CNBC Changemakers’ list, Women Transforming Business and Philanthropy. And with this issue, we’re officially launching the GreenMoney Talks podcast with a 2-part series with long-time supporter, SRI icon, Amy Domini.
