对话Grab社会影响团队顾问：如何在新兴市场做影响力投资
The increased showboating and “greenwashing” of the term “Impact Investment” has virtually led to the term being thrown around loosely: especially, as it is hard to gauge the tangible impact sometimes startups working in this domain bring.

How can startups working in this domain find the sweet spot between profitability and impact? Is tangible impact more valuable than intangible ones? Or the other way around? These are some of the many questions that…

The age-old adage, “if at first you don’t succeed, try again,” is applicable to countless scenarios. However, in the startup world, trying new things until becoming successful is only half the story.
