Ep #13: Balancing Capital and Impact with Michael Whelchel

My guest today, Michael Whelchel, co-founder of Big Path Capital, has a solution for companies that want to do good while making a good return. Big Path Capital is not your typical investment bank. Their clients all have a passion for creating social and environmental change as well as earning a profit. Big Path Capital’s goals are to expand the path for businesses that are seeking multiple bottom line interests and to help the financial world generate good as it generates returns.  In this episode, Michael shares his journey in the private equity field and what led him to co-found Big Path Capital. He talks about how traditional banks focus solely on transactions and closing, while most mission-driven businesses have many other additional interests that are just as important. Michael gives his advice for impact companies to secure capital without sacrificing their missions and how impact investing may be the way to go.
