Before Amazonia Impact Ventures existed, it had a classroom. Aldo and several of AIV's founders first met Gayle Peterson on Oxford's Impact Investing Programme, years before any of this was official. In our latest Meet the Team interview, she talks about why finance still isn't taught to value the Amazon beyond exploitation, why she takes investors to the communities themselves instead of showing them a slide, and the one question she thinks we haven't asked ourselves yet.

In conversation with Richard Woodhull, a member of Amazonia Impact Ventures' Investment Committee, he reflected on his journey into impact investing and what drew him to AIV. He emphasized the importance of creative financing and resilience when working with emerging markets, praising AIV’s impact-linked incentives that improve farmer livelihoods.
