A Note From the Big Path Capital Team
Happy B Corp Month to all who celebrate! As one of the first Certified B Corps (16 years ago!), Big Path Capital is grateful to be a part of the B Corp community and the vital movement dedicated to making business a force for good.
Now more than ever, our work in channeling capital into impact-driven companies and funds is critical to tackling the climate crisis, advancing equality, and creating lasting social and environmental change. We are proud to play a role in this important mission.
Our team is excited to join fellow impact business leaders next month at MO Summit, where we’ll gather to inspire and learn from one another. This year’s theme puts our impact front and center, urging us to lead with our values and double down on the work that matters most. With unwavering dedication to these values, we can drive the change we all seek. It’s a theme we can all champion—and one that will stay with us long after the summit ends.
Thank you for being a part of our journey.
