Mission Driven Finance® Co-founders Lauren Grattan and David Lynn speak with Anne-Christin Grimme of Known about how Mission Driven Finance is scaling nationally—and what it takes to move capital in ways that actually strengthen communities, accelerate impact, and expand access for founders and fund managers who’ve long been overlooked, digging into:

  • The big why behind a platform built to turn capital into community-centered change
  • What the $84T wealth transfer means for the next generation of values-driven investors
  • How private credit and fund finance can reshape opportunity for emerging managers
  • What it really takes to build an institutional-grade impact platform from the ground up—while scaling nationally and staying deeply grounded in community
  • Why raising a fund is not enough—and what real readiness looks like
  • How to shift into an abundance mindset in moments of uncertainty—and why disruption can reveal the biggest opportunities for those ready to seize them
