This document discusses Goodcap, an investment fund that aims to generate both social and financial returns. It summarizes Goodcap's approach of investing in companies at the intersection of money and meaning. Initially, Goodcap faced skepticism from traditional investors but was able to prove its model works by investing in companies like Better World Books and Adina for Life that achieved strong social impacts and financial growth. Goodcap also helped validate the emerging field of social capital markets by launching an annual conference that has grown significantly in attendance each year. Looking ahead, Goodcap plans to focus on further investing in the fast growing fair trade sector and may raise a second fund dedicated to this area.

- 9. He said he loved our approach, and could imagine giving us million from his foundation, if we raised a venture philanthropy fund; which is a more sophisticated way to give. But he could not invest a dollar; he just could not think about his money that way. We made his head hurt. background
- 10. We said there was a Social Capital Market and that we were going to build a fund there, at the intersection of money and meaning, where you could get scalable social impact and a double digit IRR financial returns. background

- I talked to a guy last week. He lives in two worlds. With one hat on, he’s a major investor; runs billions of dollars in investment. Has been doing it for a long time. Early into venture capital, into leveraged buyouts, been making more money at higher rates of return than other people for a long time. He also has a foundation, pretty big one, hundreds of millions of dollars. It does a lot of good stuff. He’s interested in our fund, but he’s trying to find a way think about the money he’d put into it. With his investment hat on he’s all about return, just risk return. How much money comes in how fast. Our fund is helping social purpose businesses expand and grow to scale. But there’s a cost to doing good baked inside each of our deals; he’d make less money while doing good and he can’t put those two things together. But in his the foundation office, he just gives money. He’s pretty traditional; his foundation has never done an investment related to its mission. Take away the billions he has to play with and he’s pretty much like most people. Investing and giving are totally different things. But in the space between those two offices, he wants to be involved with our fund. In the hallway between those two offices, he can imagine investing. In that hallway is where we are creating a new asset class. somewhere between giving and investing. As clear headed as investment and as warm hearted as giving.
