From space to food systems, learn why specialization in #privateequity and #venturecapital is on the rise in Priya Parrish’s recent Impact Entrepreneur article. But as Priya explains, specialization isn’t just for those with an impact mission – it's a source of hidden alpha that can benefit any investor. In a market flooded with generalists, Priya highlights the importance of seeking out specialists and asking the right questions during due diligence, especially for impact funds.

Whether you're an impact investor or seeking optimal returns, understanding the dynamics of specialization is crucial. Check out this article for a deep dive into the world of specialized funds and how they're reshaping the future of investing.

Check out Priya Parrish’s recent interview live from the NYSE for FINTECH.TV's ‘The Impact.’ 
  
Priya sits down with host Jeff Gitterman to discuss how Impact Engine invests and the uniqueness of our approach in the growing impact investing ecosystem. Priya also explores the advantages of investing in funds and companies and balancing risk and opportunity in a tough macro environment.

Congratulations to Atticus LeBlanc and our friends at PadSplit on this impressive feature in The New York Times!

"[PadSplit's] S.R.O. model addresses a mismatch between our housing stock and household size. Some 28 percent of American households consist of a single person living alone, yet fewer than 1 percent of housing units are studios. Many large houses can be used much more efficiently if they’re converted to rooming houses."
