Before Your Next Impact Investor Meeting

Introducing the Impact Elevator—a practical first step to strengthen your impact investment thesis and accelerate your capital raise.

If you’re reading this from a beach, a campsite, an airport lounge—or you’re simply trying to clear your desk before switching off for a while—I hope you’re looking forward to a well-earned break.

I’ll be doing the same, so this will be my last blog until after the summer.

Normally, I use these blogs to share ideas and observations about impact forestry. But before I disappear for a few weeks, I wanted to do something different.

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you probably have a good sense of what I think.

What I haven’t done is explain how organisations actually work with me.

I help asset managers, forest businesses and nature-based solutions developers accelerate their capital raise from impact investors by helping them credibly differentiate their impact investment thesis.

The first step is a 90-minute strategy session called the Impact Elevator.

It’s designed for organisations that know they’re doing valuable work but suspect they’re not getting the full value from their sustainability or impact efforts. Together, we’ll identify where you’re leaving value on the table and where strengthening your impact proposition could build greater investor confidence and accelerate your fundraising.

Within a week, you’ll receive a practical roadmap with clear priorities and recommendations. Whether you implement them yourself or decide to continue working with me, you’ll have a clearer path forward to raise capital faster.

As a summer opportunity, I’m opening two Impact Elevator engagements at €1,000 (normally €3,500). If you’ve been thinking about strengthening your fundraising proposition before autumn investor discussions begin, this is a good opportunity to get clear on your needle-movers before everyone returns from the summer break.

If you’re planning your fundraising for the autumn and think this could help, simply book a call. We’ll have a short 15-minute conversation to see whether it’s the right fit.

And if someone comes to mind who is raising capital for a forest investment strategy, business or nature-based solution, I’d be grateful if you forwarded this email.

Thank you for reading these blogs. I appreciate every reply, conversation and introduction they’ve generated.
