The Heart of It
The Ten Pillars of Mindful Impact Investing
Do good to do well.
These words may sound like a cliche, but Rick Segal, the founder and leader of Rethink Capital Partners, is a shining example of how true it really is. The Heart of It is an uncommon opportunity to take lessons from someone who has achieved outstanding business results while also making a lasting social impact.
This book brings together two often-separate worlds: venture capital investors and entrepreneurs looking to better the lives of those most in need.
This is impact investing. And Rick is one of its foremost practitioners.
To quote Rick, “Do the wrong thing and there will be payback. Do the right thing and there will be payout.”
In addition to highlighting the ten core pillars Rick uses to guide his firm’s investment decisions, The Heart of It shares the expert views of a number of impact founders to express in understandable terms what the entrepreneur/investor relationship can achieve when functioning as it should—with partnership, respect, and all-in collaboration.
Rick Segal's life work is capitalism at its finest, told through the words of a person who has achieved what matters most: impact.
