Perspective on impact investing space (e.g., Acumen, TPG Rise)?
有兴趣听到那些在影响投资领域工作的人，尤其是较早的阶段 - 寻找真正影响投资者，而不是投资素食餐厅的大型公司的武器，并算这一点（听到贝恩Double Impact andKKRGlobal Impactare like this).
Looking to move to one of these firms fromMBB.
1-关于该领域未来前景的想法，进入行业的好处与传统投资者？出口通常是什么样的？
2- Is the day to day work of an associate mostly sourcing, or is it a better mix of sourcing, research, and portfolio ops?
3- Any thoughts on specific firms (Acumen, Dalberg Capital, Omidyar Fund,TPG上升，两个Sigma影响）
4- What does the recruiting cycle/process look like, given its more decentralized and less formalized than bigPEfirms? Propensity to hire consultants / priority skills?
5- Any thoughts or tips in general
Thanks in advance!!

I, and @handlebars, and @making gravy have written about this extensively, including answers to almost all of those questions. It's worth reading those and coming back with more questions. That's not a wag-my-finger for not seeing those yet, I just mean in earnest, FYI that those are there, and I think you'll learn a lot reading those and then have some further questions. I worked in impact investing before selling my soul to work inPE(terrible choice).
您的帖子中的某些事情以前尚未在论坛上回答过：
* Two Sigma impact poached BCDI partners so it's just as much of a joke as Double Impact (which is, trust me, the最终的joke - Norm MacDonald levels of funny - when it comes to actual impact)
*日常工作取决于您的策略。像TPG上升的某个地方将全部执行。这是一个面向增长的中间市场影响基金，将有选择地涉足风险发展或更多成熟的业务。我从那里工作的朋友知道这一点。我工作的旧影响投资者是采购和执行的混合，但这是一种更具冒险的策略。因此，简而言之，我要说的是策略，而不是影响策略。
* Recruiting again depends. 2S recruited on LinkedIn recently, Omidyar just recruited on LinkedIn, I recruited for a role from a recruiter called Goldsmith (super unique and interesting role but don't know much about these recruiters otherwise).TPG uses Gold Coast(I think), my role I sourced myself (got to know the team for a while and then asked them if they needed an Associate). Omidyar, you're barking up the wrong tree if you're not a woman / POC (this thread is not for discussing the merits of this hiring strategy - just an FYI)
* Dalberg Capital is advisory not investing I think. Acumen is more oriented towards impact than true market returns like BCDI. They're also fairly decentralized (e.g., I knew one of their Africa teams which effectively operated like a standalone fund).
谢谢，这非常有帮助！我仔细研究了您提到的评论 - 它们也非常有用。我有几个后续问题：
- 我看到了有关影响投资者类型的帖子 - 但是我想知道是否有任何特定公司不在我的初始清单上，您认为有趣/值得一看？如果有助于获得更具体的具体情况，我理想地希望最大程度地减少来自MBB, don't mind long hours, but want a firm that's actually doing real impact investing work. Also hoping for a place where the associate role is pretty meaty - not just sourcing/cold calls. I've heard of these places through word of mouth, but adding any to my list would be really helpful.
- Given the ad hoc nature of recruiting I'm a bit worried I just missed the boat on some of these. What would you say is the best strategy for getting into the pipeline? Reaching out to distant connections who currently work at the firms I'm interested in? Do they typically fill seats immediately, or is there room to recruit now for a position that starts later down the line?
- Interested to hear more about your move from impact investing toPE- 具体来说，鉴于同事的紧密漏斗 - > vp，您看到的是什么促使它以及您看到的同事。我想许多人由于对社会影响的兴趣而不想扮演传统的财务角色，但这就是技能最能够转移的地方，对吗？
- Just personally curious re: the comment on Omidyar - their team cant be almost all women/POC, so surely they hire some white men? Do you just mean they're aggressive about 50/50 and because women are less represented in the field, its much harder to get in as a man? (I'm a female POC btw)
