Propel Impact Professionals Program
A 12-week, flexibly-paced course designed for professionals to build skills in early-stage impact investing.
Over the course of the 12 weeks, you'll complete five modules.
For each module, you'll be introduced to the types of tasks you would undertake if you were working as an impact investor. You'll then apply what you've learned to a number of exercises, all based on the data room of a fictitious education technology company.
By the end of the program, you'll have developed an investment memo and an
investment thesis deck to add to your personal portfolio.

"I participated in the Propel Impact Investing for Professionals course and found myself immediately immersed in a community of highly accomplished individuals who are passionate about making the world a better place. The community was a significant part of the experience, but what truly set the class apart was its thoughtfully orchestrated, choose-your-own-adventure structure.
We delved deeply into fascinating topics such as systems change work, measurement frameworks, and impact assessment. Despite not having a finance background, the instructor, Bruno Lam, was able to distill key principles such as financial analysis and investment structuring into bite-sized, easily understandable concepts. If you're interested in impact work, I can't recommend this course enough."
