Today, early-stage investors and entrepreneurs find themselves in a
dilemma in which they must choose between profit and impact;
between traditional, for-profit-only models on the one hand, and
multiple-bottom-line structures with a positive social or
environmental impact on the other. At a time in which climate
change, exponentially growing technologies, social polarization,
and looming pandemics are calling into question humanity's
priorities, this Report to the Club of Rome and the World Academy
of Art and Science dissolves this dilemma by proposing a new
investment paradigm, namely Integral Investing.Integral Investing
incorporates and transcends the best practices of both traditional
venture capital and impact investing. It provides a seamless
integration and shows how technological progress need not be our
rival, but can instead be our ally in ensuring the prosperous
society we all want. Drawing on her own investments and stellar
track record since 1995, the author reveals the mechanism of
Integral Investing. At the heart of it is a powerful, 360-degree
de-risking tool called the Theta Model, which reveals how to make
smart investment decisions based on the comprehensive integration
of traditional due-diligence criteria, sustainability metrics, and
assessments of the founders' and team culture. But it doesn't stop
there. In turn, this handbook demonstrates how to use
human-centered AI to scale and digitalize the investment process.
The goal here is to accelerate the use of exponential tech,
capital, and consciousness leadership to transition to a
sustainable global society: a process the author refers to as the
Investment Turnaround. The 21 principles of Integral Investing,
which she defines using Ken Wilber's Integral Theory, lead to her
manifesto on how to implement the UN Sustainable Development Goals
within Planetary Boundaries by 2050 through early-stage investing
and entrepreneurship. Similar to the 15th century, when the Medicis
inspired the Renaissance, today humanity is once again at a crucial
turning point where pioneering public and private financiers,
investors, entrepreneurs, and other committed individuals have the
opportunity to leave behind the legacy of a prosperous society.
This handbook provides a source of inspiration, and shows how
self-actualization, a positive mindset, and a consciousness that is
backed by a world-centric desire can become the driving force for
solving the global grand challenges.
