This article breaks down the concept of Catalytic Capital into simpler terms and explains that some funding gaps are temporary and can be addressed with “seeding” or “scaling” catalytic capital. Others are more fundamental, requiring “sustaining” support. The key takeaway is that these gaps can even be layered on top of each other within the same market or sector. For those of us deploying catalytic capital, understanding these distinctions is crucial. It ensures we’re targeting the right gaps, maximising efficiency and minimising disruption. Want to dive deeper? The author, Harvey Koh, and other experts will be unpacking blended finance, catalytic capital, and their implications for impact investors at our upcoming AVPN Global Conference’s Impact Investing Day.

We love this quote from the University of Cape Town IISA 2023 Biennial Report by Impact Investing SA. Cliff Prior, CEO at GSG Impact hits the nail on the head: "It is clear that there is an increasing awareness that capital is one of the most powerful drivers of change in the world." We couldn't agree more. #ImpactInvesting #SustainableFinance #CapitalForChange #SocialImpact #InvestmentForGood #SustainableDevelopment #ImpactEconomy #InfraImpact

There is no local provider of the British Bank’s Angel Regional Fund for example. How does having one supplier help growth, especially if you fail to meet that providers investment criteria. How does this support, advocate, enrich diversity , equality, devolution, leveling up and regional autonomy?
