We hear their first-hand observations of how consumers and governments will impact demand for clean energy products and services as the pandemic recedes.

Digital health businesses are changing the face of health care by delivering affordable life changing services at scale to people in need. One revolutionary business is Thrive, an evidence-based smartphone application providing in-depth tools and support for anyone to improve their mental wellbeing. Founded in 2012 by Dr. Andres Fonseca, Thrive has helped more than one million people and raised multiple rounds of capital from ClearlySo's extensive network of high-net-worth individual and institutional investors. Stephen Murdoch, human rights attorney turned impact investor and member of the ClearlySo Angels, serves as its chairman.

On this webinar, ClearlySo health sector lead Stefano Cappanari will highlight the latest trends in the sector and will interview Dr. Fonseca and Stephen to discuss what has made Thrive so successful, investors are looking for and the challenges businesses looking to raise capital face.

Impact investors come in all shapes and sizes, and from all backgrounds including the world of poker. In 2014, Martin Jacobson won the World Series of Poker, the $10,000,000 prize was the fifth largest single payout in the history of the tournament. Nicolas Cardyn is also a professional poker player, as well as an investor in startups and the stock market, with lifetime winnings now exceeding $1,000,000. Both are now members of the ClearlySo Angels - the UK's leading group of high-net-worth individuals and families focused on creating social and environmental impact alongside financial return.

During this webinar, ClearlySo Head of Investor Relations Arti Bareja will interview Martin and Nicolas to discover what led them to impact investing, the types of impact they are most interested in, and discuss what angel investors should be looking out for when investing in early stage growth businesses.

Many investors want to engage in impact investing and feel strongly about societal issues they want to try and solve. But most people don’t know where to start, what investment opportunities exist, and how to figure out what makes sense for them.

To help listeners cut through the hype, we will offer some ideas about what funds and products are available, how to access them, some of the possible pitfalls and how to find an impact investment strategy that works. We will focus the discussion on impact funds in the context of trends for the impact sector as a whole.

This webinar will cover:
- Why does anybody invest in impact?
- How to cut through the hype about impact investing? What can I actually do today that makes sense?
- What are HNWIs, Family Offices, and Institutions investing in (investment themes, solving problems, asset classes, alignment)?
- Why do people invest in impact funds? What are the trade-offs? What works and what doesn’t? What to look for in an Impact Fund?
- Lots of specific examples
- Q&A

You’ll hopefully leave this webinar with a clearer view on how you can invest to solve the world’s biggest problems.

All welcome to join.
