The HBS Impact Investment Fund was born out of student and faculty efforts in spring 2020 and evolved into a full Harvard Business School course combining classroom learning with real venture investing. The fund seeks to expand access to affordable, flexible capital for entrepreneurs building businesses that create social change. Managed through ImpactAssets, the fund pursues dual goals of reasonable investment returns and social impact, focusing on Black, Brown, and Immigrant-owned businesses facing historical capital barriers.
