How Do Financial Organizations Evaluate Social Ventures?
Social ventures who want to make both a financial and social impact have to balance both goals. Investors, funders and lenders also have to look at how to evaluate impact beyond just financial return. Join us this evening as two leaders in social venture financing talk about how financiers approach evaluating social ventures, and make investment or lending decisions. This evening is for anyone engaged with social ventures!
