From: Diane Skidmore (11:33 AM)

-

From: Kathryn Alexander, MA (11:34 AM) I’ve been trying to get my assessments into the investing world because it is hard to know if an entrepreneur is REALLY focused on values-based business or just talking to talk, but no interest.

From: franka (11:34 AM) angel sense?

From: Kurt Krueger (11:48 AM) How’s this ;look for IMPACT investing: FUN Cultural Transformative Event:

Kurt Krueger World Fest Inspirit

From: Shannon McArthur (11:48 AM) sounds great, Kurt!

From: MALINI Rajendran (11:49 AM) wish he had a slide explaining his strategy

From: Kathryn Alexander, MA (11:49 AM) @Luni - YES!!! OMG finally

From: Julian Wong (11:50 AM) An issue that has not been discussed (and that is a common criticism of venture capital) is the concentration of ownership of these startups—usually limited to the founders, established VCs, some early employees and maybe if lucky, token AM)ounts to other employees. founders are often repeat entrepreneurs and the sAM)e elite VCs get access to the best startups. the long term effect is a concentration of returns in the hands of a few. There is a need to rethink ownership and some great work is underway. Community Capital comes to mind. another one is Steward capital: https://purpose-economy.org/content/uploads/purposebooklet_en.pdf

From: Liliane Mavridara (11:50 AM) @Luni, brilliant!

From: MALINI Rajendran (11:53 AM) @Luni , Africa is a very wide generic term . can you specify which countries. also how do you deal with volatile political environment in Africa

From: Kathryn Alexander, MA (11:54 AM) @Elianne - great job with your panel! this has been very interesting and educational - thank you!!!

From: Luni Libes (Fledge / Africa Eats) (11:54 AM) @Malini, we’re in 10 countries in Africa: Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Malawi, ZAM)bia, Botswana, Nigeria, and Ghana. All are stable. All are easy to do business in. Almost all are formerly British Empire, meaning Common Law and common business practices.

From: Luni Libes (Fledge / Africa Eats) (11:55 AM) AfricaEats.com is the holdco, and for anyone interested in trying some venture philanthropy, RealizeImpact.org can turn your DAF into an investment into Africa Eats (or Fledge or anything else impactful From: Kurt Krueger (11:57 AM) I’ve been blessed to work with UN-SDG organizations in African (Nigeria, RSA, and Uganda) and Asian - mostly Pakistan - little in India. Such fun optimizing their efforts. : From: Shannon McArthur (11:57 AM) Powerful, @Michelle!

From: Liliane Mavridara (11:57 AM) @Michelle, yes, learning how and where to invest is key. and how to find the "right" companies

From: Shannon McArthur (11:58 AM) what is Revenue Share?

From: Luni Libes (Fledge / Africa Eats) (11:58 AM) RevShare is described in lunarmobiscuit.com/california-capitalism/

From: Kathryn Alexander, MA (11:58 AM) @Shanno that is what Luni was talking about.

From: Me (11:59 AM) Do the panelists have an opinion on how local municipal "Public" banks (owned by cities and states) can support the growth of business in their community? The current model is the Bank of North Dakota. Ellen Brown's books explore the idea of Pubic Banks. And the Public Banking Institute is a promoter of Ellen's ideas and the movement she has been building around the country.

From: MALINI Rajendran (12:10 PM IMF funds country governments . they have different formula for different countries. it's a large part debt funding. But off late there has been a lot of controversy over hidden strings in the projects being funded.

From: Kathryn Alexander, MA (12:11 PM @Malini - maybe that hidden fact is becoming known? The hidden ‘push’ From: the IMF is one of the major corruptors - in my understanding.

From: MALINI Rajendran (12:12 PM it's not any any of their criteria. @cecil. where can one find your work or contact you.

From: Kathryn Alexander, MA (12:15 PM @Malini - the cost of the debt to the IMF is another way to raping a country and preventing its long-term growth..

U wiykd say, share, share share, knowledge,practices, values, love, assets, access, connections, everything (but COVID From: Kathryn Alexander, MA (12:28 PM Great panel today. Ji is right, however, how can things shift enough in the this short time, to get us through this crisis?

From: Doreen Tanenbaum (12:29 PM All for the mass to know this language of investment and we will move it quicker

From: Elianne Oei - EPIC (12:29 PM voting with our voices, critical mass movements, over the 1% and their control.

From: Rachel Root (12:29 PM Yes Jim very true. People are profiting. It’s so crazy what’s happening

From: Shannon McArthur (12:29 PM this gAM)e supports the 1%… how can we change the gAM)e? This panel has the ability to know…

From: Diane Skidmore (12:29 PM They may have more profit but - so what. It doesn't affect the rest of the world. We actually have more awareness - if the 1% had any 'suss' they would have changed the gAM)e already. and - it's up to us to make some differences - work on consciousness of EVERY SINGLE PERSON!!!

From: Luni Libes (Fledge / Africa Eats) (12:30 PM The answer is in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Structure_of_Scientific_Revolutions That is the book that explains “paradigms”

From: MALINI Rajendran (12:30 PM you can't change consciousness as long as we put all our efforts in changing minds. but if we focused on changing hearts. then we will see miraculous shifts.

From: Mushin Patric Roberts (12:36 PM The Lakota Exchange ~ Blockchain of Humanity takes the gross profits of exchange 20% to 80% to fund EDU, Energy and Food Sovereignty. It’s absurd that 100+trillion in Endowment & Pension Funds are not engaged in longterm transformations of knowledge to wisdom learning continuum. I placed my bet on the Lakota BoP and Jurisdictional collective intelligent soverteignty. The COVID crisis is estimated at a $17 trillion loss. Blockchain returns the human autonomy decision making to every transactional configuration valuing IN-KIND IP CONTRIBUTIONS that is anti-inflationary and anti-depression historic suffering in primary economy. Blockchain of Humanity is an uplifting design conversation as inclusive Metastabilians. LEX Deck available to Market Makers. Thanks Jim “we have all the time in the world ~ not a moment to waste.
