Impact Investing Transaction Clinic

Entrepreneurs have great projects, businesses, and programs, but often have difficulty finding the capital to develop them. Conversely, there are many foundations, investors, and individuals that have capital to invest, but that do not know where the opportunities lie. The Impact Investing Transaction Clinic provides students practical experience in identifying and developing impact investment transactions. In essence, it replicates an acquisitions team of a fund but with the novel benefit of creating an open, transparent deal sourcing and technical assistance process to more effectively bridge the gap between the supply and demand sides of impact investing capital.

Impact Investing Transaction Clinic will be offered as a graduate level course through the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver. It offers students the opportunity to work with a cross-section of critical impact investment stakeholders: professors; clinical professors who have acquisition experience; pro bono law firms; and impact investors such as private foundations, community foundations, and philanthropists.

During the course, the cohort will endeavor to identify and cultivate a pipeline of transactions that meet the investor’s criteria.  They will work to develop a pilot transaction by sourcing transactions, providing technical assistance, and assessing the long-term pipeline potential in the realm of impact investing microfinance, debt, and/or equity. Sectors may include education and early childhood; energy; health, wellness and food; and water and the environment.
