Spring Lane Capital is a private equity firm focused on filling existing financing gaps to spur high growth infrastructure that can power our sustainable future.
Confluence Partners has worked with Spring Lane Capital since the firm’s launch in 2017 and has focused on raising the firm’s visibility amongst current and potential investors. We have successfully announced two fund closures as well as a variety of investments.
A first-of-its kind endowment driving lasting change for women and girls by placing women at the center of its investment thesis to deliver market-rate returns and outsized impact outcomes.
The research is unambiguous. There are enormous financial benefits from financial leadership and innovation decisions that are inclusive of women— benefits that show up as better performance and financial rewards across investments in all asset classes.
It is rare to come across big, bold, investible ideas that have the potential to upend how we all think about investing. Intrinsic Exchange Group (IEG) is one such exciting young company.
Confluence Partners worked with IEG on the launch of their company and the NYSE announcement. IEG knew that a concept as complex and unfamiliar to Wall Street would require a PR firm with a deep grounding in financial and impact concepts to create a narrative that could be easily digested by journalists. Confluence stepped in to answer the call.
The leading, independent law firm behind some of today’s most innovative and complex impact investing transactions. Among the many dozen service providers in impact, RPCK is the law firm that stands out.
Perhaps more than any other, RPCK is creating the pathways for impact investing to scale by architecting innovative, often first-of-a-kind transactions that marry big firm corporate finance expertise with deep and authentic knowledge of the needs of impact investors and entrepreneurs.
Capturing the promise of sustainable investing means championing the true change makers of tomorrow.
W
e can see the shift all around us. From climate change to infrastructure to social justice, our biggest environmental, social and governance challenges have broken through to our business, political and societal discourses like never before.
The winds may finally be in the backs of impact investors seeking to transform our society by championing investments that drive compelling financial and social outcomes.
As Wall Street and Main Street wake up to the enormous potential of multiple bottom-line investing, new entrants are crowding into the marketplace, further confusing an already noisy space. ESG investors, mainstream finance, regulators and other capital markets stakeholders struggle to distinguish the changemakers from the opportunists, promised impact outcomes from greenwashing and the investment solutions that can deliver true alpha.
For the asset managers, advisors and impact enterprises with truly innovative, investible and scalable ESG solutions, standing out from the pack has never been more difficult – or more important.
We exist to give voice to the world’s changemakers who bring the ideas and skills necessary to power the world of tomorrow.
We have been working at the heart of impact since 2013 and specialize in finding creative ways to help our clients’ innovative, differentiated solutions rise above the noise in a crowded, confusing sector.
