Shameless plug for a great new company

HIP Investors which stands for Human Impact + Profit

Now it is true that my daughter Sasha is interning there this summer. But it is also true that the company was written up in Fast Company earlier in the year and the founder is working on a book on their approach to scoring companies based on their contribution to human impact + profit. Normally, investing in companies based on any criteria other than risk and return is a bad idea, however we don’t live in normal times. During the last few years, companies that scored well on human impact + profit also delivered exceptional return to investors – well above the S&P. HIP Investors is still working on its product and not yet accepting investors – still this is one to watch.
