Together We RISE: Rewarding Investments through Smart Education

Hello RISE Impact Enthusiasts,

Imagine a world where every investment you make not only grows your wealth but also furthers global sustainability and social equity.

Here are some recent developments in the impact investing space that highlight the incredible opportunities awaiting us:

GIIN Releases 2024 Annual Impact Investor Survey: The Global Impact Investing Network’s latest survey reveals that impact investing continues to grow rapidly, with investors increasingly prioritizing measurable social and environmental outcomes.

Forbes: The Rise of Women-Led Impact Funds: Women-led impact investment funds are gaining traction, focusing on sustainable ventures.

TechCrunch: Tech for Good - The Next Big Thing in Impact Investing: Innovations in technology are addressing global challenges, from clean energy startups to fintech solutions promoting financial inclusion.

Bloomberg: Green Bonds Hit Record Highs: The demand for green bonds and sustainable finance instruments is surging, funding projects that deliver positive environmental and social outcomes, from renewable energy to sustainable agriculture.

The Guardian: Community Investments Driving Local Development: Community-focused investment initiatives are uplifting underserved communities through affordable housing, education, healthcare, and small business support, driving equitable growth and lasting change at the grassroots level.

By staying informed and actively participating in impact investing, we can collectively drive positive change and build a more sustainable future.

As a reminder, RISE maintains a comprehensive database of private vetted, exclusive, impactful investments that includes everything from startups to established funds and real estate, spanning all areas of impact. These opportunities vary; some have specific participation qualifications, while others are more accessible. We do this because we all have different levels of savings, communities, and can participate in impact at different levels. Either way, 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.

Angel Investing: Empowering Women to Support Startups

Last week, we dove into the numbers behind angel investing and how they can work in your favor. This week, we’ll explore the different ways to invest and guide you through the steps of becoming an angel investor. Next week, we'll shift gears to discuss venture capital—why it’s a powerful investment choice and how to analyze your options. Let’s get started on this exciting journey to empower your investments!

Angel investing is a powerful way for women to channel their resources, experience, and passion into supporting innovative startups. Here's everything you need to know to get started:

What is Angel Investing?

Angel investing involves providing financial backing to startups or early-stage companies in exchange for equity ownership or convertible debt. These investments are typically made by individuals (known as angel investors) who believe in the potential of these young companies.

How Does It Work?

Identify Potential Investments: As an angel investor, you’ll seek out startups that align with your values and interests. This could be through networking events, angel investment groups, or online platforms.

Conduct Due Diligence: This involves researching the startup’s business model, market potential, team, and financial health. It’s crucial to understand the risks and opportunities before investing.

Negotiate Terms: Once you decide to invest, you’ll negotiate the terms of your investment, including the amount, equity stake, and any involvement you’ll have in the company’s operations or decision-making.

Support and Grow: After investing, you can play an active role in mentoring and supporting the startup, using your expertise to help the company grow and succeed.

Why Should Women Consider Angel Investing?

Empowerment and Impact: Angel investing allows you to support innovative businesses that resonate with your values, contributing to social and economic progress. We can support businesses that men might not be passionate about (hormones, menopause and other companies that solve women focused concerns)

Diversification: Adding early-stage investments to your portfolio can provide diversification, potentially leading to high returns if the startups succeed.

Community and Networking: Joining the angel investing community can connect you with like-minded women and industry leaders, expanding your professional network.

Mentorship Opportunities: Your investment isn’t just financial; it can also be an opportunity to mentor and guide passionate entrepreneurs.

Getting Started:

• Educate Yourself

• Start Small

• Leverage Your Strengths

• Build a Diverse Portfolio

Do you have any questions about applying this strategy to your own investments, or about evaluating potential startups?

New Weekly Impact Insight - June 29 2024

*Every week, we highlight a unique investment opportunity and, most importantly, demonstrate how we analyze it.

🌟 Personalized Cancer Therapy, Machine Learning/AI, Cancer Drug Combinations 🌟

📍 Why This Opportunity? This biotech start-up, founded in 2018, is dedicated to transforming medical oncology with highly individualized, prospective treatment planning technologies that enhance survival rates and advance scientific understanding.

🚀 Mission: 🚀 : The company has developed a platform that helps patients today by providing individualized cancer treatment plans, accelerates new drugs into the clinic for future patients, and seeks to reshape cancer treatment in the long term.

♻️ Impact Goals:

• Combat cancer with the drug prediction platform – DxPP

  1. Unique cell enrichment technology that rapidly grows both therapy-resistant cells and tumor bulk from patient samples, enabling the testing of hundreds of potential FDA-approved drugs.

  2. First-of-its-kind AI-driven Drug Prediction Platform that integrates DNA/RNA sequencing, mutation analysis, and drug sensitivity testing on these cells.

  3. Studies have shown that 83% of cancer patients who received treatments guided by this approach experienced clinical benefits, including improved response and survival.

👩‍💼 Female Leadership:

• 👩‍💼 Women in Leadership: Co-founder is a woman and owns shares in the company. She receives funding from the Florida Department of Health and the National Institutes of Health.

💡 My Thoughts:

• Functional precision medicine opens new paths to understanding how cancer drugs can be better matched to patients. Although doctors can read any patient’s DNA today, interpreting the results to understand how a patient will respond to cancer treatment is much more challenging. Combining drug sensitivity testing with DNA analysis can help personalize cancer treatments for each patient.

Questions to Consider:

• As of 2023, cancer is the second-leading cause of death both in the U.S. and around the world. Can this company help decrease the rates substantially? Any projections?

• Can all cancer type patients benefit from this platform?

• What is the current valuation of the company?
