ABOUT PAUL BELKNAP

I\'m on a mission to prove that deep social impact and smart capital can, and must, go hand-in-hand. As part of the team at Miller Center for Global Impact, I\'m dedicated to raising $50M for Miller Center Capital by 2030, building bridges between visionary capital and the world\'s most promising social enterprises.My focus is clear: to accelerate impact-first investing in the Global South – specifically across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. I thrive on identifying and investing in early-stage ventures that are truly moving the needle on critical challenges like climate resilience and women\'s economic power. In fact, I\'ve already spearheaded investments totaling over $2 million in 30+ companies.Some might say that impact investing needs a unified return expectation, but I believe the opposite: we need all kinds of impact investors with different return expectations. From venture philanthropy to market rate returns, every dollar committed moves us closer to a more equitable and sustainable world. I\'m here to champion that diversity of capital and show how each approach contributes to a larger, more powerful ecosystem.Let\'s connect if you\'re an investor or philanthropist looking to deploy capital with purpose, an entrepreneur building scalable solutions in emerging markets, or an ecosystem builder passionate about empowering changemakers. Together, we can unlock immense potential.
