Investor Day

Welcome to Katapult Future Fest's Impact Investor Day. Our focus is on exploring solutions for the betterment of humanity and the planet from a micro and macro perspective. Let's be bold and step out of our comfort zones.

We are living in a pivotal moment in the history of humankind. How can we ensure our climate action efforts, applied technology and shared efforts can catalyze a chain of events for positive change? Join us as we open Investor Day with leading voices to explore challenges, solutions and work towards a better future. Prepare to be challenged, encouraged, and take part.

How can we build a good foundation for change in a complex world? One way is to apply systems thinking to how we lead, develop and invest. What does it mean for our investment strategies and theories of change, and how is it used practically to deliver measurable outcomes? Can we influence and shape whole systems that create transformational change? Hear about the launch of the new Systems Change Investing Initiative and learn from practitioners as they share their experience of untangling the network knots.

Explore the latest developments in Impact VC and stay ahead of the game. Witness the transformation from a general idea to a key value proposition with defined metrics, and see how it has changed the investment industry. With these changes come new opportunities for venture capital funds to differentiate themselves, and our panel of experts will provide insights on how to remain competitive in this constantly evolving sector. Join us on this journey towards positive impact and investment success.

IMP+ was launched last year at Katapult Future Fest to explore what ‘investing for systems change’ is. We convened investors from around the world to share how they are doing this in practice. These investors are with us today to share a brief introduction to their investment approach, and we will collectively explore what common characteristics these case studies have, and what this could mean for your own investments and journey.

Come and hear Berry Liberman and Danny Almagor's journey into impact and beyond facilitated by Evita Chiang Zanuso. Be inspired to create your own plan, overcome barriers to get started and think beyond the purpose of capital.

Embarking on investments with family members requires bravery. Nevertheless, there is much to glean from other family offices that have courageously pursued impact. If this resonates with you, come participate in our workshop where you can connect with like-minded families and explore how to cultivate your family's legacy of risk-taking. Bring along your favorite family member and contemplate what audacity means for your family. Together, you will discover ways to step beyond your comfort zone.

Do we have the right incentives and investment structures to catalyze deep impact? We explore how innovative financing might help transform the status quo by designing new types of capital, supporting alternative enterprise models, sharing governance and ownership with non-investor stakeholders and much more. This workshop hopes to inspire and demonstrate practically how to design new types of legal and investment structures beyond traditional financial approaches, create more inclusive investment processes, and build impact linked incentives within governance, compensation and financing.

Marina, Leo and Stef share their experience on how to leverage catalytic philanthropy, blended finance structures, and venture studio models for systemic impact.
