Maybe someone has mentioned it but I did see that Geraldine Laybourne (born Geraldine Bond) is connected to Acumen as an advisor. which if you research it leads you people like Dr. Muhammad Yunus, George Soros (huge topic)

The Acumen Fund is a social enterprise investment fund that uses “patient capital” as an alternative to traditional aid or pure market approaches to address the critical problems of poverty in the developing world.

She is an advisor to Springboard, Vital Voices and Acumen Fund.
