Whenever you face a business challenge, you have three options to tackle it. A) pretend it doesn’t exist and hope it goes away, B) deal with and cure the symptoms, or C) understand why you need this challenge to grow personally, and then solve it on both levels.
Aleksander Tõnnisson at .Cocoon Ventures are advocating to look beyond the face value of challenges. They have tools to see what’s lurking behind seemingly impossible business challenges.
The panelists will talk about how due diligence can be tedious, time-consuming, and potentially nerve-racking to a startup founder. And how it isn’t easy on investors either. Is the alternative to invest in blind faith? And what is emotional due diligence?

Impact Investments are made with the intention to generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return.
And It is growing in the Nordics.
In 2019 The One Initiative conducted the first survey on the matter targetting early stage investors on the approach, activities, results and more from investing in sustainable solutions. It shows among many other things that 83% of Nordic investors, investing in impact, expect their impact portfolio to deliver at or above the market rate of return.
This year The One Initiative has done a follow up on that market analysis and will launch ‘Impact Report Nordic Investors 2020’. After the presentation of the key findings the panel will reflect on and debate the report.

20 June 2019 The One Initiative hosted the first Nordic Impact Business Summit in the Old Stock Exchange in Copenhagen. The first selection of Nordic Top 50 Impact Companies were matched with almost 150 investors and business developers; not only from the Nordics, but also from Europe, US, Middle East and Asia.
In this session we look at what have happened the last 18 months. Have the impact startups succeded? And has the investor market matured for more impact investments?
We are setting the scene for the day.

We end the day and look into 2021 and beyond. What can we expect in the Nordic and global environmental impact ecosystem in the years to come? How will we manage and measure impact? And what could The Internet of Impact look like?

With crisis comes the opportunity for change. “When things are breaking down, look for what’s breaking through” evolutionary futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard said.

Impact Unicorns. Zebra startups. Green Swans. Tardigrades. Who are the lighthouses in the global impact ecosystem? Impact VIP’s – do they exist? And do we need them?
What do the archetypes look like when we talk about the startups, the founders, the business models, the investors, the advocates, the policy makers… that can lead us into a sustainable future?
Bill Gates & Ursula von der Leyen couldn’t come, so we have invited some main players in the Nordic and global ecosystem of impact startups and investors to discuss this.
