    Antidotes to Fascism with Jed Emerson I

    Antidotes to Fascism — Conversations with Jed Emerson (Program 1 of 2)

    Context, History, and the Stakes for the Impact Economy

    How democratic backsliding, media realignment, and policy “deconstruction” are reshaping the playing field for impact investors and entrepreneurs.

    Program overview
    The impact community doesn’t operate in a vacuum — it sits inside a rapidly shifting political economy where norms, institutions, and information channels are being rewritten in real time. In this opening Deep Dive of a two-program exploration, inspired by a new series of Substack posts, Jed Emerson traces the road to the present moment and makes a clear case for why “business as usual” in impact finance is no longer sufficient. We’ll examine how governance erosion, ESG/DEI backlash, and the migration of public attention away from legacy media alter risk, narrative, and execution for impact practitioners — and why recognizing an “anti-impact context” is a prerequisite to effective action.

    Topics covered

    • What changed: from institutional guardrails to politicized markets — a brief historical arc
    • Narrative power: the shift from legacy media to newsletters, podcasts, and short-form video
    • ESG/DEI backlash and regulatory chill: practical implications for capital formation and deployment
    • Why impact’s inside-baseball debates miss the moment — and how to reframe
    • Reading the landscape: sources and signals every impact leader should track

    About Our Deep Dives

    Deep Dives are hour-long Zoom Meetings: Live Q&A Sessions (as opposed to our Zoom Webinars, where the audience is in View-Only Mode) between the author(s) or subjects of related articles and our members. Be sure to read the articles in question and come bearing questions!

    Jed Emerson

    Jed Emerson is a pioneer of purpose-driven capital with 30+ years in the field. Co-author of the first book on impact investing — and seven others on impact and social entrepreneurship — he founded Blended Value Group, advising investment firms, funds, family offices, and foundations on strategy and execution. In the late 1990s he coined “blended value,” the now-influential idea that social, environmental, and economic value are inseparable; his book The Purpose of Capital explores aligning wealth and purpose across generations. Emerson serves as Senior Strategic Advisor at AlTi Tiedemann Global and Senior Fellow at ImpactAssets; he advises Happiness Capital and sits on the board of the Katapult Foundation. He is a Senior Fellow with the University of Zurich’s Blended Finance Initiative and a Senior Research Fellow at Heidelberg University’s Center on Social Investing, and has held faculty appointments at Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford, with teaching roles at Kellogg and NYU–Abu Dhabi. Earlier, he helped found REDF and Larkin Street Youth Services.

    Telemedicine in Action: Transforming Healthcare for LMICs

    Topic : Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Telemedicine

    Context: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are transforming healthcare by providing innovative solutions for diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and patient management. In telemedicine, AI and ML technologies enhance remote healthcare delivery, allowing for faster decision-making, personalized care, and better resource utilization. However, the integration of AI and ML into telemedicine is still in its early stages, particularly in low-resource settings. To maximize the benefits of these technologies, healthcare policymakers, professionals, and technologists must understand their potential, current applications, and future directions. Objectives: This webinar aims to explore the role of AI and ML in telemedicine, focusing on their application in remote diagnostics, patient management, predictive analytics, and decision support systems. The session will bring together leading AI/ML experts, telemedicine practitioners, and policymakers to discuss how these technologies can be leveraged to improve healthcare access, quality, and outcomes in Southeast Asia and beyond.

    Where African Technology Meets The World
    Over the past three decades, we’ve been on a journey to create a global forum that reflects the evolution in Africa’s diverse technological ecosystems. It’s a journey guided by the mission to find practical, enduring answers to the continent’s biggest challenges, solutions that deliver real-world impact for African businesses and consumers, day to day, year after year.

    In the last 10 years, alongside this pursuit of impactful solutions, we’ve accelerated our efforts to be a platform that showcases all the entrepreneurial hustle, collaborative spirit and endless creativity that makes the African continent such a unique place to do business. Our work will continue to elevate Africa onto the global tech stage into the next decade.

    Both missions are informed and inspired by the myriad stories of enterprises, governments, projects and people working to build efficient, equitable digital economies across the African continent.
