One of guiding principles Ceniarth LLC has been openness and transparency in sharing what we do and how we do it. Proud to share our new 2020 year in review that details all of our dealmaking: ceniarthllc.com/wp-content/upl…

“As we slowly transition towards utopia, there’s a lot of shit to be dealt with... in the meantime, we’re just going to try and make people’s lives better on a day-to-day basis"... another Diane gem on our Ceniarth LLC attitude towards revolutionary systems-change🤷‍♂️

"If you genuinely want to make an impact on society's most intractable problems, you need to be prepared to make financial sacrifices"... one year later and we're still ranting Ceniarth LLC about impact-first, catalytic capital!

Easy = "here’s the typical impact of these sorts of loans" Harder = identify top performers by differentiating between those who create outsized impact within a given category" Hopeful that harder 60 Decibels questions lead us to impact-first answers. ssir.org/articles/entry…

Most times "scale" in our work Ceniarth LLC is measured in 1000's of farmers or 1000's of small biz loans, but Generate breaks all our usual gauges. Congrats to the team on a $2 billion (with a B!) raise that will further their mission in deploying climate solutions!

Excited to see 60 Decibels awarded support for a catalytic effort to bring greater impact insights and transparency to the financial inclusion space. We Ceniarth LLC are providing additional funding too. Encourage MIVs and MFIs who want to get involved to get in touch!

"We have exhausted ourselves, unsuccessfully, in search of impact-first peers. Perhaps, like many in search of existential answers and nowhere else to turn, we have found religion"... faith-based impact investors are proving to be a genuine & dedicated source of impact-first $!

Excited to see my volunteer work with Jewish Federation's impact investing program converge with our work Ceniarth LLC!

Thoughtful piece from our friends @ConvergenceBF. Blended finance is absolutely essential, particularly in vulnerable, underserved places. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good in these deals. And don't say we "distort markets" when the market is not serving people.

Very proud to have anchored this new impact-first facility managed by our long-time partner Global Partnerships. $8m in low cost, catalytic capital + $37.5M in senior debt from DFCgov = the definition of how blended finance is supposed to work to support vulnerable communities.

Happy 2022 #ImpInv universe! Start your year listening to ex-BlackRock exec Tariq Fancy explain why ESG investing is a complete diversion from meaningful impact and resolve to be more impact-first in everything you do! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/is-…

Amen from us Ceniarth LLC. "Most impact investors have fallen into the trap of prioritizing returns over impact. They have failed to serve the hardest to reach markets and those that are most in need of such investment." The #impinv sector should resolve in 2022 to do more!

2021 Ceniarth LLC year in review: detail (20 deals, $30M+ in commitments), hard truths (we lost some $, dealt w/ some bad egos), and complaints about the sector continuing to run ESG + finance-first victory laps. What else would you expect from us! impactalpha.com/ceniarth-seeks…

Has been a pleasure serving on 60 Decibels Board since Ceniarth LLC led spinout investment. A long journey from Acumen's Pulse project (that I worked on as MBA intern in 2007) to today, but could not be prouder of what they do to keep our sector focused on customer voice & impact!

When Bill Bynum tells you "this is what is needed", you just help find a way to make it happen! Proud of the role that we Ceniarth LLC played on this one. A big win for the collaborative, community-centered approach of Expanding Black Business Credit (EBBC).

Better a little late than never, our 2021 year in review is hot off the press! If we're honest (which we always are!), it was a slog of a year. We still managed to make $30M in new commits across 20+ transactions. More to come in 2022! ceniarthllc.com/wp-content/upl…

Recent @bloomberg piece on pitfalls of #microfinance interviewed "dozens" of clients. 60 Decibels study interviewed 18,000. No doubt MFI sector has major challenges, but Sasha Dichter does an excellent job explaining why we need to follow the data! linkedin.com/pulse/textbook…

NEW: The push to “mainstream” #impinv has left many of us "wondering when, if ever, some portion of those declared trillions of impact dollars will ever reach communities in real need,” writes Greg Neichin of family office Ceniarth LLC. #CatalyticCapital impactalpha.com/moving-beyond-…
