Sky News interviewed Impact X Capital Partners LLP about the first close of our 2nd fund (Impact X Global I) including commitments from Bank of America, Visa Foundation, Guy's and St Thomas'​ NHS Foundation Trust, and Atomico.  

Thank you Ian King for having me on your Sky Business Live program.  The Impact X interview starts at minute 14 and 8 secs. 

Innovative new portfolio companies such a iknowa and Bump are featured as are disruptors from our prior portfolio including Marshmallow, Health & Her Ltd, etc.  How these global companies drive sector innovation and jobs creation is also discussed.

Today it was announced that in Q4 2023, Impact X Capital Partners LLP started to invest from its #secondfund, Impact X Global I.  A Reuters article by sustainable finance editor, Simon Jessop highlights capital allocations from Bank of America, Visa Foundation, Guy's and St Thomas'​ NHS Foundation Trust as well as Atomico.  

These catalytic asset allocators are backing Impact X to build on a track record started in 2019 that includes investments in insurtech unicorn, Marshmallow; circular economy leader Raylo, healthtech standout Health & Her Ltd, as well as animation innovator YouNeek Studios.  These companies demonstrate Impact X's thesis that differentiated deal flow, venture scale returns and job creation result from investing in underrepresented entrepreneurs.

The article announced that the latest fund, Impact X Global I, has invested in a number of companies.  These include net-zero leader iknowa, fintech AI company for the creator economy Bump, and several projects from 360 degree media innovator Good Gate Media Ltd.

Please read more in the article linked below including a quote from Bank of America's President of International, Bernard Mensah.  Having the right backers makes the difference.

Impact-Investor.com regularly reports about the intersections among financial, social and environmental returns.  I appreciate that Karolina Adamkiewicz took a close look at how Impact X Capital Partners LLP leverages demographic biases to produce very differentiated deal flow leading to returns (financial, social, other).  Featuring in the article are portfolio companies Bump, iknowa, Good Gate Media Ltd as well as key team members including our chair Ric Lewis and vice chair / former Xerox CEO #UrsulaBurns.

The evolution of digital platforms has cemented the way in which consumers interact with content and its creators. In the early 2000s, big tech like Apple and Google laid the foundational infrastructure, attracting millions of active users and establishing and scaling robust devices and platforms for content collaboration. The second wave of innovation occurred with social media giants like Meta, Instagram, TikTok, Snap Inc., etc., which layered on top of these foundational platforms and further democratized content creation and sharing. They brought about a new era of engagement, allowing users to connect in more visual and interactive ways resulting in trillions of dollars of enterprise value creation.

So what is the third wave of innovation? 💡 I believe the Creator economy is the next unlock of generational value.

Today, consumers expect a new type of information consumption. Consumers are ushering in the era of podcasts, short-form content, DIY, and on-the-go content on platforms like YouTube and Spotify. Additionally, social media has provided brand value transference from large brands to each underlying creator. This has given rise to the Creator economy. We’ve watched as influencers like MrBeast, Kardashians, Harry Stebbings, Jason Calacanis, and more. These platforms provided a space for more nuanced and individualized expression and a digression from traditional publication news outlets, allowing creators to share their narratives and expertise in a more authentic manner. 

Now, the focus is shifting towards providing robust support for content creators. Bump is the infrastructure to power this movement. It’s products supply creators with advanced tools for content creation, distribution, access to capital, and monetization.

Bump is backed by Meridian Ventures, Snap Inc., Mastercard, Trapital, Connetic Ventures, and Sixty8 Capital.
