Fifteen years of convening

The people who decide where impact capital goes.

This began as the room. Through Impact for Breakfast, Artha Networks has convened 670+ gatherings across 50+ cities since 2008, alongside the hundreds of conferences we have attended since 2007.

A database is maintained the way a community is: record by record, as people change roles, funds close and mandates shift.

Investor types

Classified by how each investor actually decides.

A family office, a foundation and a pension fund invest in different ways, at different ticket sizes. Every organisation is classified into one of 41 investor types in 8 groups, so your results match how each investor actually allocates.

Sectors, impact themes, instruments and geographies are classified the same way, across 24 sectors and 28 impact themes. The original source text is kept next to each classification.
