About Napoleon Wallace
I’m an impact finance entrepreneur working to change the way money interacts with humanity. With over 20 years of experience spanning public, private, nonprofit, and venture sectors, I am deeply passionate about impact finance, social entrepreneurship, and community development. I currently serve as Co-Founder and Senior Advisor of Activest, a fiscal justice research and fixed-income investment advisory firm, and Partners In Equity, an owner-occupied commercial real estate investment company. In these capacities, I shape the vision, strategy, and operations of the funds while managing talented teams who share my mission and values. Together, we source, evaluate, and manage investments in impact-driven businesses, cooperatives, securities, commercial real estate, intellectual property, and community-based enterprises that generate positive social and environmental outcomes.Collaboration is a cornerstone of my work. I prioritize cooperation and leverage my extensive network of partners, colleagues, and experts to forge strategic partnerships, mobilize resources, and advocate effectively for the goals of my teams and the communities we serve. If you’re a like-minded entrepreneur or organization, let’s connect!
