In SOCAP’s ongoing efforts to increase deal flow for impact, driving more of the right forms of capital to where it can have the greatest impact on the world’s biggest challenges, we are excited to partner with New Majority Capital, Common Future, Roanhorse Consulting, and Armillaria to bring a new offering to #SOCAP24 attendees: the Inclusive Capital Exchange (ICX). ?? The ICX consortium is a group of dedicated change-makers in the impact investing space committed to transparency and the flow of capital for impact. Fueled by a desire to exchange not only ideas but also capital at impact conferences like SOCAP, ICX’s founding members came together to pilot the ICX at SOCAP24. The vision for the ICX is to create virtual and in-person experiences at impact conferences for investors and emerging fund managers to connect and come to terms. ??
