Diversity Equity & Inclusion 5: Daryn Dodson – Training and Action at Illumen Capital (Capital Allocators, EP.168)

<p>Daryn Dodson is the founder of Illumen Capital, a venture fund of funds that seeks to invest in the best impact fund managers and takes them through a process to reduce implicit bias in their business and investing decisions.</p> <p>Our conversation covers Daryn’s early experience with discrimination, work backing more than 1,000 entrepreneurs in post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans, Board work at impact-focused Calvert Funds, and launch of Illumen. We discuss Illumen’s three pillars of academic research, investing in the thesis, and training managers across hiring, investing and Board selection – all with the aspiration to become better investors and take advantage of a huge inefficiency in capital allocation.</p> <p>Please enjoy, my conversation with Daryn Dodson of Illumen Capital in this continuation of our mini-series on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.</p> <p><strong><u>Learn More</u></strong><br /> Read the <a href= "http://capitalallocatorspodcast.com/premium">Transcript</a><br /> Subscribe to the <a href= "http://capitalallocatorspodcast.com/contact">Capital Allocators Blog or Monthly Mailing List</a><br /> Don't Subscribe, but <a href= "http://capitalallocatorspodcast.com/contact">Let Us Know Who You Are</a><br /> Write a review on <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/capital-allocators-with-ted-seides/id1223764016">iTunes</a><br /> Follow Ted on twitter at <a href= "http://twitter.com/tseides">@tseides</a><br /> Review past episodes of the <a href= "http://capitalallocatorspodcast.com/podcast">Podcast</a><br /> <br /> <br /></p>
