There is an emerging breed of investors who have honed the unique ability to "Invest with Impact". These forward-thinking individuals understand the intrinsic link between societal progress and financial returns.

We spend 1.9T on the healthcare cost of poor nutrtion. Do we need to upgrade our food system like we did 64Bit architecture like the Intel A64 venture fund designed between partners?

Stock buy backs signal BigCo is failing at innovation. Best to let gale of Creative Destruction blow them down.

Highly refined sugar (and ultra-processed grain, which turns into sugar) in so many foods is the culprit that is addicting, afflicting and killing more Americans annually than fentanyl and other illicit drugs.

Sorry about that. I think it is now fixed.

Yes, it should all be so easy.

I manage iSelect. I too have to get money from others. Those investors have a certain risk profile. iSelect works to find companies that fit their needs. We close a gap with iSelect, not all gaps. We have funded many companies that otherwise would not have been funded. Those companies are growing.

The gap between an idea and funding creates other challenges. Success comes from execution and listening to customers, not an idea. It is not just about funding.

I have spent a long part of my career working on the early stage gap. Succeeding and failing. In time I will close that gap. If others wish to help, please join the effort.

Thanks for your comments.
