“We are in a new era,” said Impact Hub Austin Managing Director Ashley Phillips. “For-profit businesses are addressing complex social and environmental issues, nonprofits are growing their earned revenue streams as they develop sustainable business models, and governments are piloting market-based approaches to serve their constituents. Our traditional sector boundaries have become blurred and technology is at the center. Entrepreneurs and investors have the opportunity to make an incredible, scalable impact on these seemingly intractable solutions.”

Through thought leadership panel discussions, inclusive dialogues and community-building events, SOCAP 365 and Impact Hub Austin will convene impact investors, social entrepreneurs, conscious corporations, philanthropists, government agencies and innovators from every sector through this 2018 event series. Impact Hub Austin and SOCAP believe a diversity of voices is vital to meaningful, actionable dialogue and each event will be a chance to plug-in locally with diverse stakeholders committed to accelerating the flow of capital toward global good.

“Partnering with Impact Hub Austin has been a significant strategic opportunity, allowing us to work with local allies and cultivate a robust community around financing social change,” said SOCAP Senior Product Manager Liz Maxwell.“Impact Hub Austin’s knowledge of local landscape and thoughtful collaboration has allowed us to connect opportunities, thinking and strategies coming out of Austin with a national and global network of folks trying to do the same.”
