In episode 47 of the Investing in Impact podcast, I speak with Lawrence Yen, Founding Partner at MIH Impact Venture Capital, on impact investing, Taiwan, and the future of sustainability in the region.

Lawrence is based out of Taipei and Shanghai, currently work with a group of family offices from Taiwan. They setup an impact investment arm starting 2020, with focus in environment+ technology and social value and equality enabling businesses.

Lawrence was born in Taipei, raised and educated in Canada and moved to Shanghai in 2005.

Their partners come from businesses in hardware, software technology, retail, textile, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and a slew of other businesses in Greater China.

The mission is to find passionate business founders with great products that contributes to sustainability and social values, and to invest both financially as well as channel and distribution.

Lawrence believes for earlier stage companies and impact companies, by merely contributing funding is insufficient; hence, coming from family businesses in various sectors and supply chains allow them to help up-and-coming companies and ideas grow in Greater China.

From Shanghai and Taipei, he explores sustainable businesses across the world, and try to find angles to help aspirational founders build businesses, as well as invest.
