Kobe, Serena , Jordan, Messi.

A person’s efforts can be so great in impact that at the mention of that single name, only one person springs to mind.

Their service to life and field of work is embedded so deep into the realms of culture that it leaves lasting marks on those that come after them.

When it comes to the world of finance and its sub areas, not many have achieved that level of significance that they become known to people outside of their industry.

However, one person that I believe could achieve that is Philippe Zaouati. As CEO of Mirova, Monsieur Philippe along with his team have built a company that continues to shape responsible investing as we know it. From working with His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales on the Natural Capital Investment Alliance to joining forces with the UN on the Land Degradation Neutrality Fund, Philippe Zaouati has and continues to be at the heart of the fight for a sustainable future.

The following conversation, thus, represents one of the most exciting moments of the podcast series and acts as no better way to close the season out.

Without much further ado, welcome to Finstreet.

In a goal to help his kids understand the value of money, Will Rainey of Blue Tree Savings developed a method of education that replaces terms such as investing and money with planting and seeds. So, as his kids grow up, it will be easy to relate the science of money making them money to the freedom forest that emerges from continuously planting trees.

In this podcast episode, Will Rainey takes us through what inspired he and his wife to transition out of full-time employment to help parents teach their kids about finance, in a way that not only helps secure their futures but creates memorable family conversations in the process.

At the end of 2020, venture capital funding reached an approximate amount of $300 billion globally. While the pandemic had a crippling effect on many industries around the world, other sectors of the global economy, particularly tech, experienced significant growth and development. At the heart of that drive is what people would normally call VC or venture capital.

In this podcast episode, I speak with Rick Hao, a Principal Deep Tech Investor at Speedinvest, one of Europe’s leading early-stage VC funds, with over €450 million in assets under management.  We discuss the meaning and diversity of deep tech, the process of picking the right start-up to invest in and how angel investors actually play a significant role in the world of Venture Capital.

I’m excited to share the knowledge that Rick offered via the podcast, and without further ado, welcome to Finstreet!
