When business partners clash over timelines in patient capital investing

My business partner and I launched an impact investing fund but we're discovering we have very different tolerance for how long we're willing to wait for both financial and social returns. She wants to be more patient with underperforming investments that are hitting social metrics, while I'm getting pressure from my family about our own financial timeline, and we haven't been direct about what 'patient capital' actually means to each of us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Partners realize their shared commitment to long-term thinking conceals different personal pressures and risk tolerances.
