Pioneering Catalytic Capital – A Decade of Learning

Investing for Impact

In this special episode of the Impact = podcast, we reflect on 10 years of pioneering catalytic capital through BII’s Catalyst portfolio. Since its launch in 2014, Catalyst has committed $1.6 billion to high-impact investments, supporting over 108,000 jobs, enabling 100% renewable power production, and reaching 7.7 million farmers.
We held an event to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Catalyst portfolio and share some of the lessons we’ve learnt along the way. These insights are also included in our ‘Pioneering catalytic capital’ report.
To mark this milestone, we are joined by industry leaders:

• Laurie Spengler, Founder, Courageous Capital Advisors
• Michael Anderson, Chief Executive, MedAccess
• Raghuram Talluri, Chief Executive, Loadshare
• Maria Smith, Chief Impact Officer, BII

Hosted by ImpactAlpha’s Jessica Pothering
Together, we explore the lessons captured in our new report, Pioneering Catalytic Capital: A Decade of Learning, and discuss how investors can drive impact by embracing risk where it matters most.
