Sustainable Development Investing: Florian Kemmerich of Bamboo Capital Partners

Achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 could unlock $12 trillion in market value and help create 350 million jobs worldwide.

This week, we hear from Florian Kemmerich, the Managing Partner of Bamboo Capital Partners. Bamboo is a private equity impact investing firm, focusing primarily in financial services, energy, agriculture and healthcare in emerging markets around the world. Florian was previously an executive in biotech and medical device companies around the world, and is the Chairman of LIFNano Technologies, a company seeking treatment for Multiple Sclerosis.

"Doing good is not a trade off - even though a lot of people psychologically believe that either you make money or you do good," says Florian. "In my experience, it's  more of a risk-reward scenario. At the end of the day, due diligence always includes an emotional bet on a perceived value of an entrepreneur or business you believe in."
