While there’s been explosive growth in capital and investors promising to “do well by doing good”, the world’s progress on critical problems remains slow. To solve our world’s greatest challenges, we need to push the boundaries of what is possible – fueled by the urgency of putting impact first while being grounded in the patience to see it through. That’s where Patient Capital steps in. Learn how Patient Capital, Acumen’s philanthropy-backed approach to impact investing, is a revolutionary approach to prioritizing impact. With 20 years of experience investing $115 million in 123 companies across the globe and enhancing more than 440 million lives, Acumen shares its successes, challenges, and key lessons learned. You’ll walk away with insights on how to deploy capital creatively to invest where it is needed — not merely where it is safe. *The content draws from [Acumen’s Patient Capital Report](https://acumen.org/patient-capital-report/), which we recommend diving into after this course to learn more. *
