Colorado Impact Day, march 3-4, 2016 – save the date!
Developing an Impact Investing Marketplace at a State Scale!
The flagship event, Colorado Impact Day, March 3-4, 2016 in Denver, Colorado, is the first multi-track competition devoted entirely to assessing and expanding the impact investment opportunities in for-profit and nonprofit ventures in at a state scale. It is intended to engage new impact investors and philanthropists and to drive new capital into the local market by generating knowledge and facilitating connections between investors and investees. While Colorado Impact Day will be designed as a business competition (e.g. pitches, awards, prizes, etc.), its enduring value is threefold and cooperative:
- In assessing the impact investing landscape – both supply and demand of capital;
- In connecting worthy ventures to the time, treasure, and talent they need; and
- In educating and advancing the impact investing marketplace.
An event Steering Committee consisting of community partners and industry leaders is designing the number and makeup of tracks, and any additional engagement opportunities (e.g. sponsorships, judging, mentors, etc.) surrounding the event.
