| Laurie Lane-ZuckerStatus is online Laurie Lane-Zucker • 1st Founder & CEO at Impact Entrepreneur, an Impact Economy Company 19h • Impact Entrepreneur Development practitioners often view impact investing as an important tool for alleviating poverty. They tout the ability of impact investing to leverage private sector investment to complement limited public sector, foundation, or development assistance funds, as well as the potential to harness efficiencies of market-based approaches. With such a focus on attracting investment capital, research on impact investing is often conducted from the perspective of the investor, failing to account for the perspective of the impact entrepreneur on the ground. In particular, little primary research has concentrated on those who applied for impact investment funding but were turned down.

A better way of numbering social impact, environmental impact and economic return needs to be deployed. Most of the work in this space ignores the very powerful concept of balance sheet progress and profit and loss activity analysis that is the core of conventional accountancy. I argue these concepts need to remain, but for all the impacts on all the capitals to be embraced.

It is so focused on investors that we forget that is is the entrepreneurs that create the impact not the investors. Yes, entrepreneurs need capital but they are one's usually taking real risk (it's their idea, money and energy) vs investor who are usually using someone else money. the whole impact investment business has been built backwards to legitimize it. There are no entrepreneurs at GIIN events....
