Background Information

Thoughts

  • "Impact" is a peculiar word choice, because it also means to strike
  • Clearly Green Seeds seeks to "Invest", but keep in mind not to walk through the Financial Door first.
    • A linear financial definition from The Free Dictionary: To commit (money or capital) in order to gain a financial return.
    • More holistic definitions from same source:
      • To spend or devote for future advantage or benefit
      • To devote morally or psychologically, as to a purpose; commit
    • Our mission is to hold all three definitions at the same time.
  • If we want to structure and originate the financing ourselves, then the type of investments is probably very limited. If we are banker/brokers, facilitating access to existing financing, then we can provide many solutions, but can we be "Active Managers" of someone else's money? I don't think so.
