About Lin J.
I\'m a third-way thinker who searches for new ways to solve persistent educational challenges. I believe that our greatest assets – parents, students, and communities – exist in uplifting our kids and improving their academic success. I love strategy & finance for their interconnectedness in driving organizational culture, growth, and excellence. As a senior education leader, I represent the best interest of all kids when I pull up my seat at the table. I am a collaborator who believes that the best ideas are harvested and refined by the voices of others. I have no magic wand – just passion, curiosity, third-way thinking, collaboration, urgency, and student-first heart.

Maycomb Capital is a pioneering impact investing platform, providing financing across asset classes to drive capital toward effective solutions for underserved communities. Maycomb has over $80 million in flexible, impact-aligned debt capital focused on expanding access to economic opportunity using an outcomes-based approach. This capital includes the Educational Resources Impact Fund, one of Maycomb’s Custom Strategies.As Senior Advisor for Education, I lead the Educational Resources Impact Fund (ERIF). ERIF supports nonprofit developers and providers of high-quality instructional materials and aligned supports, particularly those offered as open educational resources. The Fund’s investment strategy is to provide flexible debt financing to these organizations to diversity their capital sources and enable future growth. The mission of this work is to support the growth and sustainability of these nonprofit organizations so that more students, particularly those who are underserved, gain access to these high-quality instructional materials. It also aims to test this investment strategy in the market to determine if these organizations can successfully repay debt financing and if this strategy can crowd in additional capital in the future.
