I owe what I get to do every day here in a job I love to many people, but Scott Bryan really helped. In 2015, he took a chance on me to become the VP of Programming at Imagine H2O running the Accelerator, and it was a learning curve which laid the groundwork for what we do here at BIV. Scott is one of the most important figures in early stage water. Since 2010, he has built Imagine H2O into the premier accelerator for water entrepreneurs running three annual programs, and they announced their first pilot fund last year. All of this adds up to an enormous and rapidly growing degree of impact in water as the companies they backed and supported have revolutionized everything from groundwater management to flood insurance.  Please enjoy my conversation with Scott Bryan.  Subscribe to The Fundamental Molecule here: https://www.burntislandventures.com/the-fundamental-molecule For the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fundamental-molecule/id1714287205 ----------- Scott Bryan, President at Imagine H2O, joins Tom today to discuss the evolution of the water technology ecosystem. Together, they start by taking a look at how the early days were characterized by business plan competitions before the subsequent shift to emphasizing team strength, execution ability, and customer-centric approaches. Scott then goes on to highlight Imagine H2O's evolving selection process, the critical role of pilot projects, and the importance of impact measurement. Noting that water is a less polarizing issue than climate, allowing it a degree of stability, today's episode also explores philanthropy in the water sector and Imagine H20's focus on Asia, before wrapping it all up with Scott's sage advice for water entrepreneurs. 00:00 - Imagine H2O's Role in Water Innovation 02:19 - Why Water Has Lagged Behind Clean Tech 04:08 - Early Challenges in Water Entrepreneurship 05:40 - What Makes a Water Startup Succeed? 07:30 - The Hidden Dangers of Fundraising Success 09:41 - Key Milestones in Water Innovation Growth 11:17 - How COVID Shifted the Water Tech Landscape 13:17 - Why Most Accelerators Fail at Water Startups 15:15 - The ROI of Water Startup Accelerators 16:14 - Measuring Impact in Water Innovation 17:45 - Why Water Needs Standardized Impact Metrics 18:31 - The Unique Challenges of Running a Water Nonprofit 19:34 - The Role of Philanthropy in Water Innovation 20:24 - Why Climate Funders Must Care About Water 22:46 - How Water Ties Into Public Health and Equity 25:20 - Why Pilots Are Critical for Water Startups 28:12 - How the Water Innovation Pilot Fund Works 30:40 - Expanding Water Tech Innovation Internationally 32:24 - Key Lessons from Imagine H2O Asia 33:48 - Hiring the Right Talent for Water Startups 35:12 - The Future of Water Tech Investment 36:20 - Why Water Is a Bipartisan Issue 38:22 - What Entrepreneurs Must Know About Water Policy 40:11 - The #1 Advice for Water Entrepreneurs Links: Burnt Island Ventures: https://www.burntislandventures.com/ Scott Bryan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottmilesbryan/ Imagine H2O: https://www.imagineh2o.org/ SM Material Key Takeaways: "Water is a trillion-dollar industry. It's the future of the world's most valuable resource." "Philanthropy in water is changing. It's not just about wells anymore. We need sophisticated impact engines."

"Take the check from people who know the space. Measure value in burritos, not just equity." "We need to standardize metrics in water. The math is all over the place. Precision is key." "Imagine H2O Asia is a base to think regionally. It's about testing business models faster." "We need to think beyond a 10-month accelerator. It's a long journey, and we're here to help."

How can we measure impact and outcomes from social programmes that work for business? Our Social Impact Pioneer today believes that ESG initiatives need a unified impact measurement scale – impact per dollar. Meet Gilad Tanay, Founder and Chairperson of the ERI Institute. “Impact per Dollar gives investors a tangible percentage figure or impact unit of a particular initiative, i.e. how many people lifted from poverty per $10k invested.” Says Gilad. Gilad founded the ERI - which stands for the Effective Research for Impact – and that is what they do. ERI is a pioneering research organisation dedicated to identifying and maximising “Impact per Dollar” in philanthropy, ESG investing, with business and global development initiatives. With a background spanning academia and high-impact consulting, Gilad's work has informed strategies for governments, major NGOs, and philanthropic funds worldwide. Before establishing ERI, Gilad co-founded and served as a director of Academics Stand Against Poverty (ASAP) and lectured on the Global Justice Programme at Yale University. Recognised for his insights on global inequality and poverty alleviation (including a TEDx talk at Yale – see below for links), Gilad left a traditional academic career to solve tangible, high-stakes problems. His approach centres on creating unified, evidence-based impact measurement frameworks—tools that empower investors, companies, and donors to truly understand the return on their social investments. In this conversation, we'll unpack why the current ESG landscape often fails to deliver systemic change, and how “impact per dollar” can revolutionise social impact. Gilad discusses how unified metrics—similar to a financial ROI—let funders identify which initiatives genuinely lift communities out of poverty. He highlights the importance of direct cash transfers, skill-building programs, and fair labour practices to break the poverty trap, emphasising that businesses can become powerful agents of change when they address root causes rather than apply superficial fixes. Get ready for a thought-provoking dialogue on aligning profits with purpose, the urgent need for standardised impact metrics, and how the business sector can seize its unique position to tackle the world's most devastating poverty-related diseases and inequalities. If you've ever wondered how to make social impact capital more transformative, this episode is your roadmap to higher-impact social investments.

Fifteen years after putting the civic in civic tech, Code for America is pivoting to come alongside local governments to take on the challenges they face today — bringing collaborative expertise to the use of AI in the public sector and defending gains made through diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in government.amanda.jpgThe organization made its name by helping government better use (and often liberate or democratize) the data it holds and developing citizen apps through early hackathons, and making a network of volunteer developers available to public agencies that could not marshal those resources by themselves.Amanda Renteria, CEO of Code for America, joins the podcast this episode to talk about the organization's mission, track record and what comes next. SHOW NOTES Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode: Diverse Collaboration and Problem Solving: Code for America remains focused on the collaborative efforts of individuals from various backgrounds, including government, technology and nonprofit sectors. Renteria emphasizes the importance of leveraging diverse talents to address societal challenges, and the positive correlation between the evolution of Code for America and effective governance. Growth and Evolution of Civic Tech: The interview traces the rise of civic technology, from early hackathons to its integration into mainstream digital government initiatives. Code for America has been a catalyst in making government better, particularly during crises like COVID-19, and continues to shape its future through partnerships and innovation. Measuring Impact and Systems Change: The organization initially measured success by volunteer participation and project outcomes but has since shifted toward evaluating systemic changes. For example, proactive government behavior, such as Louisiana's response to disaster relief, is now a key indicator of success, showing a broader impact on governance. The interview highlights ongoing initiatives like Direct File for tax filing, integrated benefits systems in states like Minnesota and efforts to improve child-care services. Ethics and AI in Government: The role of AI in government is a critical concern. Code for America prioritizes transparency, ethical use of data and addressing biases in AI systems. Its AI Studio aims to educate government officials on how to use AI responsibly, ensuring that it serves people fairly and equitably, while keeping ethical considerations at the forefront. Pushing Back Against Bug Tech's DEI Pullback: Renteria expresses disappointment about the decline of tech industry programs focused on diversity, equity and inclusion. She acknowledges that some large tech companies, like Google, Meta and Lyft, have backed away from their DEI efforts, which she finds disheartening. However, she also emphasizes a deeper sense of responsibility to continue working toward equity and inclusion, regardless of the political or industry climate. Amanda notes that while the term "equity" has become politically charged, she believes most people still want a government that works for everyone. She says Code for America remains committed to ensuring government services are inclusive, even if the term “equity” itself falls out of favor.

We kick off our mini-series on Measuring Impact with Kevin answering questions about how we plan to make a measurable difference rather than leaving it to chance or trying to retrospectively seek value once we've delivered an agreed - if not largely hopeful - solution. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Start with the end in mind. Intentionally align to the performance requirements that help organisations achieve goals, Don´t measure too many things. One person in the team needs to be assigned to focus on measuring impact. Measuring impact means measuring performance, how effectively people are working, and how that affects business outcomes. Several examples are shared during the episode. There will be times when you cannot measure the impact. Go in with a performance mindset, not just an L&D one. Be realistic about what can be achieved and measured. BEST MOMENTS'If your first discussion with business partners and stakeholders is about training, it's more than likely that you are headed in the wrong direction for alignment. ''In essence, you're then seeing yourself as a performance consultant first, and an l&d practitioner second,''When I talk about performance, I'm talking about skills, capability, talent, behaviour, and actions. ''Training and learning will not do it alone. ' Kevin M.Yates BioKevin is the Learning & Development detective, solving the mystery: “What is the impact of learning?” He does this by investigating how learning activates performance and business goals. He is also author of the eBook,

Welcome to the first episode of The Win Rate Podcast with Andy Paul! After years of providing essential sales advice via his wildly successful Sales Enablement Podcast, Andy has a new mission.  As overall B2B sales effectiveness has declined over the past decade he has made it his goal to provide sellers with the critical  knowledge they need to elevate their Win Rate, which is the most important measure of the value they provide to buyers.Today Andy welcomes his guests, Brandon Fluharty and Dave Brock, to explore the most important factors that influence win rates and provide practical takeaways sellers can use to improve theirs. They start by discussing the decline in sales effectiveness and the average win rate in B2B sales for medium sized deals, which is currently at 17%. And they explore why so many sales managers and sellers are seemingly unaware of their win rates and the impact their win rates have on their sales. They discuss the irrational focus of many sales leaders on sales activity, such as the number of dials and emails made, and question the effectiveness of using technology to robotically send out personalized emails quickly. Dave discusses the need for a culture shift and emphasizes the importance of measuring impact rather than just focusing on activity metrics. They also explore the core performance levers in sales, including win rate, average deal size, and sales cycle. Throughout today's episode, Andy, Brandon, and Dave emphasize the need to find the right type of customers and focus on what they value, and the importance of effectively managing the  time, energy, and attention of buyers and sellers alike. They emphasize the importance of defining one's impact and prioritizing high-value activities to increase fulfillment and results. Key Subjects:* Defining win rate, tracking progress, managing process.* Impact over activity in high-growth SaaS companies.* Outcomes over activities.* Low win rates impact on marketing effectiveness and product-market fit.* "Importance of performance levers in sales"* Reduced meetings, doubled productivity, increased revenue.* Design thinking needed in changing macroeconomic environment.* Find customers who value your offer, prioritize tasks.* More is not always betterFollow Brandon on LinkedInFollow Dave on LinkedInHost Andy Paul is the expert on modern B2B selling and author of three best-selling, award-winning sales books, including his latest Sell Without Selling Out.

Measuring impact is notoriously difficult but without it, our profession cannot progress, and we won't fulfil our potential. There is a huge role for Learning & Development in the upskilling and reskilling efforts required to plug the skills gap, but we won't do that without holding ourselves accountable for actual impact. In this episode - and first in a mini-series on L&D impact - our panel explores what this means and the practical steps it will take us to make a planned and meaningful impact. KEY TAKEAWAYS Work out in advance how you are going to measure the outcomes. Get down to the brass tacks of what each department and person should be doing. Seek clarification, and ask what does that look like?  Often, it will take time to get proper answers. Communicate your success using stakeholder metrics and language. Use success case interviews and qualitative data. BEST MOMENTS'What we're striving to do then is show that our training or learning interventions can impact on some business metric.
