Together We RISE: Rewarding Investments through Smart Education

Hello RISE Impact Enthusiasts,

We Had a Great Session Last Week!

If you missed it, you can catch the recording here from our live stream with Rebecca from EcoHyde. We made private investing easy to understand by breaking down five tricky concepts:

• Convertible Notes

• Valuation

• Cap Tables

• Term Sheets

• Dilution

We also explored EcoHyde’s incredible impact—how they’re transforming 80% of food waste into luxury, plant-based leathers. It was a fantastic discussion, and we kept it light and engaging to make sure everyone could follow along.

If you found the session helpful, please feel free to share the link with others who might benefit or want to support innovative companies like EcoHyde. Let’s spread the word and drive impact together!

On a Personal Note…

Jax is doing better physically, but he’s still struggling to make friends. He says he doesn’t have any, even though he’s on the baseball team and taking finance classes. We’re working through it, and I’ve honestly thought about clearing my schedule to follow him to class and make a few “Mom-approved” introductions myself—though I’m sure that would officially make me the least cool parent ever!

Looking Ahead: October 5th Dinner in Scottsdale

One of our members is hosting a special dinner in Scottsdale, where she’ll be sharing her collection of historical artifacts, including original articles of the Declaration of Independence and Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. She’ll be giving us a guided tour of these treasures and sharing some untold stories of how women helped shape our financial system. I’m really looking forward to experiencing it and hope to see you there!

Remember, we’re all on this journey together. Whether it’s navigating personal challenges or exploring new frontiers in impact investing, our community is here to support and inspire each other.

As always, let's share this valuable knowledge of values aligned investing with our loved ones, including our children (it's never too early to start!), friends, and broader community. With that said, let's explore this week’s impactful opportunity.

My Notes from Climate Week NYC: ‘Accelerating Climate Action: Partnerships and Innovation for a Sustainable Future’

First, I’ll speak Finance. Second, I’ll summarize like I’m explaining to my older teens.

Recent Developments in Climate Finance:

Larger Funds Mobilizing:

• Big news! New climate finance initiatives are scaling up, with several billion-dollar funds announced. These aren’t just promises; it’s real money from private investors, governments, and philanthropic organizations.

Innovative Financial Structures:

• Green Bonds and Climate Loans: These are hot right now! More projects are being funded through green bonds and specialized loans for renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure.

• Carbon Credits: Remember the old cap-and-trade system? Think of this as the upgraded version, used to fund climate projects while keeping big polluters in check.

Focus on Equity and Inclusion:

• It’s not just about going green; it’s also about being fair. There’s a push to ensure these investments help marginalized communities who are hit hardest by climate change.

Technology and Data:

• Tech is taking over! AI and big data are critical for tracking the impact of these investments. Imagine measuring real-time progress and making tweaks along the way. Game-changing!

Private Sector Leadership:

• Guess what? Big corporations are stepping up. They’re not just setting net-zero targets; they’re creating and investing in their own climate funds. Talk about leading by example!

Now, Let’s Explain it Super Simply:

Big money is starting to flow into fighting climate change in smarter ways. Huge funds, with billions of dollars, are being created by a mix of governments, big businesses, and charities. They’re using tools like “green bonds” and “carbon credits” to raise money for projects that help the environment. Green bonds are like regular bonds, but the money raised supports positive environment projects. Carbon credits - basically permits to corporate to emit a certain amount of carbon dioxide; if they are below they can sell their remaining credits.

The cool part? They’re making sure these projects don’t just help the planet but also the people who need it the most. Poor communities and those hit hardest by climate change are finally getting more support.

Plus, they’re using tech to track how well these projects are doing. So, if something isn’t working, they can pivot fast. This is a big deal because it shows we can use money and tech together to solve climate problems.

._{*Please, it is never too early to share these differentiations with others so we are all educated together allowing us all to have an investor mindset. If you need lists or access to any of the above reply back and we will support with our database.}
