In this corner of the impact space, investors seek double or triple bottom-line results from companies tackling the era\u2019s pressing environmental and social challenges. This includes players around the world providing everything from healthcare solutions and clean energy to educational technology and financial services.<\/p>\n<p>Kathryn Wortsman, managing partner of \u00a0impact-focused venture capital fund Amplify Capital in Toronto, focuses on these investments that use tech for good, and remembers that a few years ago, it was a challenge to find them.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Amplify had to turn down companies because they lacked a mission-driven focus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFive years later, our pipeline of opportunities has grown substantially\u2014at least tenfold,\u201d Wortsman says.<\/p>\n<p>But investors in general haven\u2019t caught up. There\u2019s still a myth that these investments require sacrificing returns, even though that\u2019s no longer the case. And it\u2019s not just Wortsman\u2019s view: The Global Impact Investing Network\u2019s 2020 survey\u00a0<a class=\"icon none\" href=\"https:\/\/thegiin.org\/assets\/GIIN%20Annual%20Impact%20Investor%20Survey%202020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a>\u00a088% of respondents met or exceeded their financial expectations, and 69% see the impact-investing market growing steadily. Wortsman hopes this growth will lead to needed returns and wins in this sector bubbling up through the public market.<\/p>\n<p>What the companies lack in name recognition, they make up for on the balance sheet. Wortsman says early and later stage private companies are succeeding in delivering double bottom-line results in her portfolio, and that investors can make a mission-driven investment across different structures.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a challenge in convincing non-impact investors to shift from how and where they\u2019ve traditionally acquired wealth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a bit of a psychology leap, because they might have trouble understanding a customer, or an employee, or a supplier that thinks about something other than the bottom line,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>But Wortsman offers the following tips as a starting point for investing in tech for good.<\/p>\n<p>Investors should watch where talent is flocking, Wortsman says, as an indicator of where to put their money. She says by talking with friends, kids, and colleagues, investors can get a sense of where top talent is headed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwenty years ago, the best talent probably went to Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Bain, et cetera,\u201d she says. \u201cTen years ago, the best talent went to Google, Facebook, and maybe Salesforce. And today the top graduates from Stanford\u2019s computer science program, I can bet you they\u2019re going to some clean tech, innovative, or health-care tech company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Companies in Amplify\u2019s portfolio are also attracting people who previously worked at companies such as Shopify or Uber, or elsewhere in the startup world. \u201cBut then after a few years, they get excited,\u201d she says. \u201cThey want to do something more; they come to a mission-driven company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wortsman says these companies are able to retain highly productive talent and that benefits the bottom line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompanies that can attract top talent will outperform companies that can\u2019t,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Invest where customers are headed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Asking the same questions customers and users ask, Wortsman says, is essential in deciding which companies to invest in. That goes beyond how an individual customer may evaluate their buying decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe customer could be someone like BlackRock, that\u2019s saying, look, we\u2019re not interested in supporting companies that don\u2019t have a social mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even if customer bases seem small or niche, Wortsman says it\u2019s important to note the upcoming groups making big financial decisions today and in the future\u2014especially millennials and women\u2014have different priorities than the past. She says mission-driven customers also tend to be very sticky, which makes them extremely valuable.<\/p>\n<p>The current moment offers opportunities to follow customers as they find strategies to deal with the interruptions caused by Covid-19. Wortsman uses education as an example, noting that in the near future, investors will pay attention to the learning technologies used by major players like the New York State Education Department.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an impact investor\u2014we were ahead of the Covid-19 curve in investing in healthcare efficiencies, and outcomes and improvements in education outcomes,\u201d she says. \u201cMore investors are interested in these segments today than they were pre-Covid-19, but we were already there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Take advantage of non-dilutive capital<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sectors such as clean energy, education, and healthcare have significant research and development tax credits and non-dilutive capital\u2014sources that don\u2019t require a stake in the company\u2014such as low interest or forgivable loans or grants which don\u2019t eat into equity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernments aren\u2019t investing in food delivery or a marketing app, but they are very interested in helping innovate on healthcare efficiencies, education outcomes and providing clean energy at scale,\u201d Wortsman says.<\/p>\n<p>For example\u00a0<a class=\"icon none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sdtc.ca\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sustainable Durable Technology Canada<\/a>\u00a0has invested more than C$1.15 billion (US$830 million) in 400 companies, creating 13,000 jobs.<\/p>\n<p>She adds that mission-driven companies \u201cespecially now, but even before Covid-19\u201d had access to non-dilutive capital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if I get 5% of the company, the company doesn\u2019t have to dilute me to raise more equity capital. Instead, they can reach out and get grants, so that again, falls to the bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In companies where such funding is successful, including some in Amplify\u2019s portfolio, Wortsman has noticed companies can raise almost twice the amount of capital, with half coming from non-dilute sources.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Originally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barrons.com\/articles\/future-returns-investing-in-tech-for-good-01594748538\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">posted here<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"btn-container\"><a class=\"btn btn-md btn-primary\" href=\"#\">More thought leadership <i class=\"far fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Worries about personal data and privacy have taken some of the sheen off investing in technology.
