“BII’s Integrated Capital Card Game is a fantastic learning tool! It’s a creative, effective way to find out about impact investing terms and learn which types of capital and transaction structures work best for different social enterprises. Our fellows love it because it’s interactive, fun and super practical.”

Deb Nelson

Executive Director, Just Economy Institute

“The Integrated Capital Cards were a great addition to the impact investing class at Georgetown. It allowed students to not only grasp the tenets of the field but begin to think strategically about better aligning investment vehicles with mission and business models. Moreover, the leadership from the Boston Impact Initiative team was outstanding. Their knowledge, patience and instruction were very well received.”

Melissa Bradley

Professor at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University and Founder, 1863 Ventures

“The Integrated Capital Card game was a terrific exercise for our fellowship program. As a group with both newcomers to the field of impact investing and seasoned VCs, the breadth of the terminology and concepts revealed in the cards and through the case studies provided exposure on innovative funding mechanisms and a fun setting to apply them. Would definitely recommend it for beginners and experts alike!”

Hattie Brown
