Register

Great speakers

Past year speakers have included mission-aligned CEOs including Chad Dickerson, former CEO of Etsy, leading investors including Sunny Vanderbeck (Satori Capital), Scott Wu (Omidyar) and Ira Ehrenpreis (DBL Partners) and industry leaders including Meghan French Dunbar from Conscious Company Media, and Nichol Bradford from Transformative Tech Lab.

Healthy Debate

Our previous summit included thoughtful panels highlighting different perspectives on balancing mission and returns, and the art (and science) of focusing on both simultaneously. Speakers dove into challenging issues such as conscious M&A and strategies for measuring how well mission-aligned businesses manage to stick to their missions. We also discussed investment challenges including managing a cap table with investors that have different priorities, and family offices and foundations as a source of capital.

Mission Aligned

Growth Summit

Attending Investors

At Nfluence Partners, our mission is to help good people with great businesses thrive. Embracing mission-aligned principles is a big part of this approach. We are always excited to think critically about the ins and outs of prioritizing both profits and purpose. We look forward to expanding the conversation.

We believe that business is good because it creates value, it is ethical because it is based on voluntary exchange, it is noble because it can elevate our existence and it is heroic because it lifts people out of poverty and creates prosperity. Free enterprise capitalism is the most powerful system for social cooperation and human progress ever conceived. But we can aspire to even more.
