Acumen Up-Close

For over 22 years, Acumen has been taking risks, going to places where others won’t, and solving problems of poverty.

In 2022, they hit a milestone of 500M lives impacted. This impact represents the work of 167 companies, 1300 Foundry members, and a team that has gone deep to build a world based on dignity.

As a global leader in social and economic transformation, Acumen have learned many lessons on the power of patient capital and the importance of impact when it comes to driving sustainable change. The Conduit is excited to bring together Acumen and their Partners, leading social entrepreneurs, investors, and philanthropists to share their insights and learn from one another.

This afternoon session will feature a Fireside chat with Acumen Founder, Jacqueline Novogratz, and breakout sessions that will dive into conversations with global voices on the moral economy, failed investments, frontier technologies, moving roadblocks to accelerating change, and more.
