In this episode, I speak with Sagar Tandon, Founding member of Moonshot Ventures, about impact investment in Asia.

Actively supporting early stage entrepreneurs looking to change the world, the opportunity he sees for impact investors is not just in how they support entrepreneurs… but in how they are able to prove the business case in a way that draws in traditional investors.

Something he is already seeing in healthcare and agriculture.

For those looking to become impact investors, make sure you stay until the end where he gives some quick tips for how to get started!
