SFH #133  Impact Investing with Kevin Jones of Gather Lab

Kevin Jones is an eight times successful serial entrepreneur who co-founded the world's largest social enterprise and impact investing conference, SOCAP. Kevin is interested in being part of an investment vehicle that will compensate the producers like the investors are compensated; in the past six years, he has been working with underrepresented people who don't typically get venture capital. Projects he's spearheaded include a housing cooperative that lets observant Muslims invest in their neighbors without interest, a church based credit union network anchored in African American churches and an equity fund to provide friends and family funding to entrepreneurs who don't have a rich uncle. He has been married to Rosa Lee Harden for 46 years and the couple have two children and two grandchildren all of whom live on their farm on a river near Asheville, NC.

In this episode, I speak with Kevin about his mission and the impact Gather Lab is making in the world.

Let's dive in!
