When business partners disagree on impact investing timelines and risk tolerance

My business partner and I started our impact fund with the same vision but we're realizing we have fundamentally different risk tolerances and timelines — she wants to see measurable social outcomes within three years while I believe real systemic change takes a generation, and our portfolio companies are caught in the middle of our unresolved tension.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who share values are discovering they have incompatible approaches to the patient capital they're deploying together.
