💡 Did you catch our commitment at the Clinton Global Initiative this week? PCV President and CEO @Bulbul Gupta reflected on this amazing year. We are both humbled and exhilarated by the strides we've made together with our team and community partners through an innovative model that combines #affordablecapital, pro bono business #mentorship, and cutting-edge research methods. In 2022, we made waves! $10 million deployed, 92% to entrepreneurs of color and women, 98% to low-income communities, and 86% to historically redlined areas. 🚀 🌍 Our mission? Break systemic barriers for underestimated entrepreneurs. Discover the Five Lessons that surfaced from our Good Jobs Innovation Lab: 1. Broaden the narrative on good jobs. 2. Profits linked to good jobs. 3. Restorative capital's hidden value. 4. Bridging gaps with a continuum of capital. 5. People-first data culture. 📚 Read the full blog authored by Bulbul Gupta and Casey J.

A little something something to read, written by me, Rolf Wilmes, and Alfredo De Massis. It’s brief. It’s conceptual. It's in this year's Academy of Management Proceedings among the Best Papers. It’s about #legacy in entrepreneurial families and how different life stages of family members shape its transmission. If you are interested in what I mentioned above⬆, please feel free to follow the link below⬇. We break with the belief that legacy transmission is a thing of one-after-the-other🔂 , top-down⤵, and old-to-young 🧓 ➡ 👶. Instead, we propose that it is the continuous interactions and exchanges between generations and age groups 🔄 that shape what happens to legacy. https://lnkd.in/eYY8GGJp
