[…] Karim Harji, co-founder and partner at Purpose Capital, delivered the conference’s second keynote address.

“How do organizations leverage the full range of assets at their disposal?” asked Harji. “Fundraisers and impact investors don’t know each other; let’s get together; we are trying to do the same thing.”
