Advancing innovation via public-private partnerships

 

Blended Impact is an innovation lab for economic development powering the future of how we invest, live, and earn through public-private partnerships. Founded in 2019, we add capacity to inclusive economic development initiatives and have worked with the Federal government, national research labs, mayoral offices, and major foundations nationwide. Located in a Southern California Opportunity Zone, the lab specializes in alternative capital attraction strategies, working to assist communities in identifying their project pipelines and resource them with private sector expertise. From these learnings, we are able to create scalable, tech-driven solutions for the communities we serve.

As of 2021, we are a legal CA Benefit Corporation designed to promote economic opportunity beyond job creation in the course of our work. As of 2022, we are a Certified B Corporation.

Our culture is rooted in an 'execute and experiment' ethos that encourages rigorous reflection and bold action.

We are strategic, forward-looking, generous, earnest, and curious.

We believe investing doesn't have to mean profit versus impact.

Why not both?
