Worn out by the financial crisis? Head for the Social Stock Exchange!
Here’s an interesting thought leadership piece from INSEAD:
Fledgling markets where investors and donors can fund enterprises with a social mission exist or are being launched in Brazil, South Africa and Mauritius. But a fully regulated stock exchange where investors can trade in the shares of social enterprises has yet to get off the ground.Stephen Brenninkmeijer, founder of social investment fund Willows Investments, explains why he is backing a London-based project along these lines.
Holiday Drinks
Thank you to everyone who came out to our Holiday Social in December at The Press Club. We were thrilled with the number of people who attended (over 60 people!) and the level of energy in the room.
The evening flew by, filled with engaging conversations about the future of money, the Occupy movement, social finance all the way to the theory and practice of Systema, The New Wall Street and The Federal Reserve.

Bricolage Workshop
We recognise that there is a long road ahead of us and there is much work to be done. Using Saul’s 3 year old daughter’s building blocks, we prototyped what the next year would look like – what paths we want to explore and what obstacles we anticipate. The room was ramped up with an entrepreneurial spirit ready to build the foundations of this project.
Brown Bag Lunch @The Hub
On Nov 1st, our dear friend Charlotte Millar (WWF-UK) came to The Hub Bay Area to tell her story of The Finance Innovation Lab. Since 2008, WWF-UK and ICAEW have been convening The FinanceInnovation Lab, an open environment in which people can come together to explore, innovate and evolve the financial system so that it sustains people and planet. The project was born out of an inquiry into the current financial system, which shapes the way we live, defines what things are worth, what is valued and what is not. The Lab currently has three core activities:
- Connects people who want to create a financial system that sustains people and planet;
- Prototypes the future by creating a space to develop ideas into projects;
- Explores collective meaning through capacity building and mentorship.
