Since its founding in 2015, Impact Experience, amongst other work, has been dedicated to addressing biases in investment decisions through a holistic, immersive program of experiential learning for capital allocators. This method has successfully inspired shifts in investment decisions, opening access to capital for entrepreneurs and fund managers who are often overlooked by asset allocators. Through community-centric convenings and strategic partnerships, Impact Experience engages with asset allocators to improve their decision-making by enhancing their ability to recognize and nurture opportunities that originate from or meet the needs of underestimated groups, driving positive impact on the entire financial ecosystem.
Learning Objective
The learning objective for this case study is to help students understand how biases manifest themselves adversely affecting the quality of capital allocation decisions and the strategic considerations involved in addressing these biases. The case study focuses on the development of Impact Experience’s unique framework, highlighting how experiential learning can shift investment decisions. The role of art, particularly music, in making experiences transformative will be examined, showcasing how these mediums create deeper emotional engagement that transcends traditional educational methods. Through this case study, students will gain insights into improving decision-making processes, and driving systemic change in capital allocation practices.
