论文摘要
可持续性倡议将从不断增长的风险投资中受益匪浅,就像在战后时期实现和加速其他技术努力一样。随着股东和其他利益相关者之间越来越多的分享,这需要比迄今为止部署的金融优先方法更细微的观点。的确,一家由风险投资的可持续发展创业公司有可能向社会提供出色的成果,而不会向投资者返回一分钱,尽管最有希望的结果是有目的地提供利润的,以使现有的“挖掘”风险投资的方式满足所有利益相关者。 为了探索这个新生地区,对相关研究进行了审查,并接受了社会企业家和投资者的采访,以构建一份评估当前和未来生态系统参与者的利益和意图的问卷。对通过几种抽样方法收到的114条响应的分析揭示了投资偏好与性别,世代,复杂性和其他变量之间具有统计学意义的关系,一直延续到个人联合国可持续发展目标(SDG)的水平。
Sustainability initiatives are set to benefit greatly from the growing involvement of venture capital, in the same way that other technological endeavours have been enabled and accelerated in the post-war period. With the spoils increasingly being shared between shareholders and other stakeholders, this requires a more nuanced view than the finance-first methodologies deployed to date. Indeed, it is possible for a venture-backed sustainability startup to deliver outstanding results to society in general without returning a cent to investors, though the most promising outcomes deliver profit with purpose, satisfying all stakeholders in ways that make existing 'extractive' venture capital seem hollow. To explore this nascent area, a review of related research was conducted and social entrepreneurs & investors interviewed to construct a questionnaire assessing the interests and intentions of current & future ecosystem participants. Analysis of 114 responses received via several sampling methods revealed statistically significant relationships between investing preferences and genders, generations, sophistication, and other variables, all the way down to the level of individual UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
