Mary Clark is the New President of Numeracle “Whether it's a call or a text message or an email, our vision is to restore trust, says Numeracle President and COO, Cathy Clark. At the recent Enterprise Connect 2024 event, Numeracle, an innovator in Verified Identity and Entity Identity Management for communications, announced a series of innovations and initiatives designed to specifically help enterprises preserve and improve the value of their contact centers and other parts of their communications complex, by ensuring trust and transparency with every phone call made.  “We can help make sure that enterprises are not mislabeled to spam when they're trying to reach consumer, that they're appropriately labeled and get through to that consumer.” Clark is Numeracle's new president. In this podcast, Clark shares her insights as person with a deep background in the telecom industry and perspective on the problem of solving fraud in communications and returning trust to all calls. Trusted Logo and Name, Test How You're Being Seen Clark explains how Numeracle's approach ultimately places a logo, the trusted brand logo of the enterprise, on the phone of the customer or call recipient. “You will see the logo and the reason for the call and the name of the company, giving the person on the other end, that consumer, myself, my kids, my parents, your parents, the opportunity to feel more confident in answering that call.” Numerical also offers Number Check, where organizations can test how their calls are delivered and displayed on consumer devices, utilizing screenshots of real phone calls across all top 3 wireless carriers. Channel Opportunity Clark also reaches out to the partner community with an opportunity. Organizations have huge investments in their brand and companies of all sizes need to be able to reach customers, clients, patients, students, citizens, vendors, and contractors via calls that will be answered and texts that will be seen and read. https://www.numeracle.com/contact-us.

CASE Smart Impact Capital is a toolkit that helps you to raise capital that aligns with your needs. In 1992, Cathy Clark had a conversation with Lloyd Morrissett, the co-founder of Sesame Workshop. Lloyd told her “Change happens when the right people with the right idea and the right capital come together at the right time.” This idea stuck with Cathy and has guided her career since. When Cathy first appeared on Social Entrepreneur in January 2016, she said. “It isn’t enough to have a good idea, to want to help people, but you have to have an organization to do it, and eventually that organization needs capital. And that has become the theme of my career.” Cathy Clark is the faculty director for the Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship (CASE) at the Duke Fuqua School of Business. She runs the Initiative on Impacting Investing. Cathy and the team at CASE have developed a resource to help social entrepreneurs to be more efficient and effective in raising investment capital. The solution is called CASE Smart Impact Capital. It is a toolkit that contains short videos, downloadable resources, spreadsheets, and more. The modules are bite-sized and flexible. You can jump to any section at any time to match where you are on your fundraising journey. CASE Smart Impact Capital was developed over a two-year period, while working with partner organizations such as MIT, Stanford, USAID, Uncharted, and Spring. In this interview, Cathy takes the listeners from the theoretical basis of impact investing through a description of CASE Smart Impact Capital.

The Venn Foundation uses Program-Related Investments in surprising new ways. This week, we’re kicking off a two-part mini-series how to fund a business that does social good. We did something like this in April 2016. Next week, Cathy Clark is going to be here to talk about CASE Smart Impact Capital, an online resource to help social entrepreneurs figure out how to find the right capital at the right time. This week, we’re talking to Jeff Ochs of the Venn Foundation. Jeff is an experienced entrepreneur and investor. He invented and commercialized an educational party game that was licensed by Hasbro. He started a successful nonprofit, Breakthrough Twin Cities. And he was the Executive Director of an angel investing network. In each of these instances, Jeff saw the difficulty of getting the right investments to the right startups at the right time. Jeff explains that today there are two types of capital: Charitable donations, which support causes we care about with no expectation whatsoever for financial return. For-profit investments, which are designed to make as much money as possible for investors on a risk-adjusted basis. “In this current capital system, it is obvious why there is no investment capital available that is willing to accept ‘below-market’ financial terms,” Jeff explains. To meet this challenge, Jeff partnered with Rob Scarlett and Jeanne Voight to launch the Venn Foundation. Jeff says, “At the highest level, Venn Foundation has a method for using charitable donations, which today we just give away, to make investments. This allows us to create the below-market investment capital that we badly need. Charitable investments have all the same tax advantages of donations, are anchored against -100% financial returns of donations, and allow the precious charitable donation to be recycled over and over again. Venn Foundation is where charity and investing meet.” Venn is creating a marketplace for charitable investing. They are removing the obstacles that donors face in making charitable investments directly. By opening a special donor-advised fund called a Venn Account, any individual or organization can recommend that their charitable dollars be used by Venn to make Program-Related Investments, or PRIs. Venn can syndicate any PRI among any number of Venn Accounts. Financial returns from these PRIs go back to participating funds for the donors to redeploy into new PRIs or to grant out as desired. Venn recently made a program-related investment to Binary Bridge. BinaryBridge creates software that helps humanitarians do their work effectively and efficiently. You may recall our conversation with BinaryBridge founder Lori Most. Who should seek program-related investing? Jeff suggests that business and nonprofit leaders ask themselves, “Is that I’m doing helping advance a charitable cause as defined by the IRS? And if the answer is yes, or maybe yes, the program-related investment tool is something that could apply to you and your goals.” Social Entrepreneurship Quotes from Jeff Ochs “If that kind of capital existed, what could we do?” Jeff Ochs, Venn Foundation “It’s where charity and investing meet.” Jeff Ochs, Venn Foundation “Today, there is not a market for charitable investing.” Jeff Ochs, Venn Foundation “If capital behaved differently, what would be possible?” Jeff Ochs, Venn Foundation “Capital is the lifeblood of our economy.” Jeff Ochs, Venn Foundation “If we can change the nature of capital, we can change the way our economy works.” Jeff Ochs, Venn Foundation Social Entrepreneurship Resources: Venn Foundation: https://www.vennfoundation.org BackpackEMR:https://www.backpackemr.com Book: Crazy Good Advice: 10 Lessons Learned from 150 Leading Social Entrepreneurs: https://tonyloyd.com/book

Cathy Clark first came to my attention as the coauthor of the book The Impact Investor: Lessons in Leadership and Strategy for Collaborative Capitalism. However, as she tells me in this interview, she had an early start to social entrepreneurship. Cathy grew up in inner city Philadelphia. While still a high-school student, she helped her father create a program that prepared students for college. Through this experience, she learned that social outcome is the result of a well-run organization. Through her career she has had stops at the Aspen Institute, Markle Foundation, Flatiron Partners, Columbia University and the Investor’s Circle, to name a few. Today, Cathy is the Director of the CASE Initiative on Impact Investing (or i3) at Duke University. The mission of CASE i3 is to build the field and market of impact investing so that it can support the needs of social entrepreneurs and investors. Key quotes from the interview: “To get to a social outcome…you have to know how to run an organization.” “It wasn’t enough to have a good idea to want to help people, but you had to have an organization to do it and eventually that organization needed capital. And that has become the theme of my career.” “The Millennial generation has a different outlook on what their purpose is, and how they want their work lives to intersect with purpose.” “Founders alone don’t create good organizations. Founders need teams with a whole bunch of different skills and we happen to teach a lot of those skills.” “We completely believe that mindset needs to be inside of government, inside the private sector, inside the biggest corporations, and not just the smallest ones for change to actually happen.” “Part of starting something is, you have to be enraptured with the idea to the point of a little bit of insanity, so that you can push it through.” “When you work with organizations that are a little farther along, whether you call them mid-stage or growth stage or scaling stage, it turns out that you need a whole other basket of skills.” “Often enterprises need to either become part of a larger company or they need to they need to be adopted by government or they need to convince government to change the rules so that what they’re doing can spread.” “When is the right time to open your kimono and share what you are doing, and what are the norms for that and how are they different across the different sectors?” “Really know the kind of capital and the kind of capital partner that is right for you.” “Entrepreneurship is a community sport.” Resources: Book: The Impact Investor: Lessons in Leadership and Strategy for Collaborative Capitalism: http://amzn.to/1Sj92oq Book: Collaborative Capitalism and the Rise of Impact Investing: http://amzn.to/1PspBbx CASE i3, Initiative on Impact Investing: http://sites.duke.edu/casei3/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/cathyhc Book: Forces for Good: The Six Practices of High-Impact Nonprofits: http://amzn.to/1SWwAyT Stanford Social Innovation Review article, “The Power of Lean Data”, Winter, 2016: http://ssir.org/articles/entry/the_power_of_lean_data eBook: Five Key Traits of Successful Social Entrepreneurs: http://tonyloyd.com/socent Try Audible and Receive Two Free Audiobooks: http://tonyloyd.com/books
