Michael Schlein, Accion's President and CEO, and Diana Taylor, its Chairman of the Board, discuss Accion's approach to impact investing.

This capital must be risk-tolerant, provided in combination with technical and strategic expertise, as well as access to potential partners and, when appropriate, later-stage investors."
