We want a future thriving world that has halted climate change and solved social inequity and we need to understand value to do it. 🌏

I started talking to Chris Selth, ex super guru Bankers Trust fund manager, in 2020 when I was setting up the ImpaQt fund for early-stage ventures.

Our CEO Anne-Marie Elias joined Cameron Bogatez & Todd Soulas (Humans For Good) on the new 'Good Solutionism' podcast to discuss what’s wrong with all governments, how money can change the world, and the key to disruption.

💥The last few decades of impact focused capital, ESG and philanthropy haven’t been cracking any of the big problems

🗳️ Government is terrible at deciding how to do things and needs to start getting the private sector involved to use capital effectively exactly where it can make a big impact

🌏 Impact is not about inputs and outputs, it is about making peoples lives better - and that’s what we should be measuring

🎧

Her mission is to get capital and capability to where it matters most - underserved markets. She focuses on being a catalyst for change to collectively restructure the way our social systems support those in need.

How can you act on impact?

There are over $13 billion Funds under management in Family Offices in Australia and around $4 trillion in Superannuation funds. We could solve a whole lot of problems with this, don’t you think?

Beckon CEO Anne-Marie Elias explores why this capital isn't reaching local need. The data doesn’t lie. Whether we are talking about Indigenous disadvantage, housing and homelessness, or people living below the poverty line, the metrics are going in the wrong direction … Up!

When we as individuals lose the capacity to see clearly right from wrong and act with integrity, we have lost our moral compass!
