A Note From Adrianne Gordon, COO

Those of us in the triple bottom line business world have been calling out the need for change for some time. That need is becoming more pressing every day. Change that brings us closer to a society where all people can thrive and the planet is protected will take innovation, creativity, perseverance, and risk — things the business community has in abundance. We remain committed to supporting impact companies and funds to get the capital they need to achieve their world-changing missions.

Beyond our capital raising for our incredible impact clients, we also have plans for gatherings, partnerships, and community-building efforts aimed at strengthening the impact capital ecosystem. From sponsoring B Lab’s biannual convening of the U.S. B Corp community to hosting the Impact Capitalism Summit in a new city and launching new CEO Peer Circles, we’re kicking off this year holding strong to our commitment to systems-level change. There are several opportunities for you to join us on our path to a stakeholder economy.

Below, read more about our plans for 2026, meet the newest member of our team(!), and take a look at the newly released MO 100 ranking. Plus, if you’re planning to join our upcoming Summits, be sure to take advantage of Early Bird pricing, which ends soon!

 

 

 

Stronger Together: Big Path’s 2025 Impact and Our Path Into 2026

In 2025, we doubled down on what has guided our firm since its founding in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis: using “smarter money” to build an economy grounded in natural, social, and financial capital. Throughout last year, that commitment was evident in meaningful team milestones, new offerings for CEOs and fund managers, convenings that brought the community together in critical moments, and transactions that helped values-aligned companies reach their next chapter of growth. Here’s how Big Path extended its impact in 2025, and how we’re building on that momentum in 2026. Read more.
