 So please welcome now Kevin Jones the SoCAP convener. Thank you Thanks Natalie, it's great to be here. So I'm from SoCAP which maybe a lot of people don't know there's we come from a different world We're the largest impact investing in social entrepreneur focus conference in the world about 2,000 people from 70 countries come to look at investing in companies that are doing good, so Natalie works out of the hub that we have here And so I got to know her and I wanted to do this conference But why is SoCAP focusing on the sharing economy? Well, you know there are folks from our world of impact investing here in the room with you folks along with natives of the sharing economy We're like strangers impact investors and the people in the sharing economy But I think we can be valuable strangers for each other And I think it's time we got to know each other and started to Impact investors like me are attracted to the values of the sharing economy We're in favor of people not being locked into consumerism and not feeling like they have to buy the new thing But instead they can respond to the challenges the world by sharing and sharing the old thing People have decided to share resources rather than consume new resources Well, I think find that they're natural allies with impact investors Investors who believe that you can make money investing in for-profit companies focused on solving social and environmental problems There's a partnership. I'm talking to two startups here about one from our world and one from the sharing economy From our world of we invest in financial inclusion. That's one of the things you can make money Lowering the cost of being poor. So one of the startups I'm Helping to grow is one called elone pool and it's bringing existing Ethnic and minority and immigrant loan pools online Getting them certified by a CDFI and then the loan pool You know, maybe it's the folks from Jalisco, Mexico in in the mission who have a loan pool then get a lower cost of capital and they Can buy a car or an apartment at the lower rates that folks who are outside of those loan pools are to get so it's taking something they've already done and That exists within a real trust circle of these loan pools They exist in you know melee Chinese merchants on Mission Street They exist in in the humong neighborhood by little Saigon and they exist They've figured out how to trust and I'd love to see how people who are building trust engines can work with these folks who are bringing their credit scores online and Figure out how to optimize that but also figure out how to penetrate these new markets with the tools of trust that you're building. So Elone pool is one of those companies. I was talking to Casey Fenton who founded crowd I mean couch surfing and he's got a new trust engine So we're looking for partnerships around trust engines for that particular company But there's a lot of partnerships that we can look at together that I think we would The entrepreneurs in the sharing economy would find interesting. So we invite you to socap Our conference in September it draws about 2,300 impact investors and social entrepreneurs from 70 countries to San Francisco The first week in September and if you're looking for investors who will understand what you're about, you know The movement side of this as well as the financial reality. You should get to know us. I think we could Make some good partnerships with some of the startups here and the ethos that they're doing Our goal here is not to leave as valuable strangers between impact investors and the sharing economy But as people who discovered we have valuable assets to share with each other and I hope you feel the same So thank you for joining with us and our partner peers for the first-ever share conference.
