Social & Environmental Impact: McKnight reviewed impact performance for 2016 but Generation considers its data confidential, however impacts are impressive. For example Generation recently led a $55 million fundraising round into California electric bus company, Proterra, along with BMW i Ventures.

Generation’s approach to measuring impact is ambitious, measuring key environmental, social and governance factors for all companies in the fund.

This is a gold standard for reporting, but it makes apples to apples comparisons with other investments difficult.
