    Great interviews with social entreprenuers
    Great interviews with social entreprenuers. They explain how they make investments, grant and funding decisions, and discuss the pros and cons of different sources of funding. Interesting hearing them share lessons and insights, and provide advice for social entrepreneurs looking to finance a sustainable social business. I think there are some profound insights in these initial interviews, great advice, and also some hard-hitting analysis of the state of impact investing today.
