How Microfinance Helps Unbanked & The Climate Vulnerable w/ Celyn & Kristen (ShareChange)
Hello everyone and welcome back to CleanTechies the Podcast. This is episode 68.
If you are a climate tech founder with specific questions you'd like us to ask -- OR -- looking for capital and strategic partner introductions, please reach out to me via the Slack Channel or LinkedIn and we are glad to help in any way we can.
Today we are joined by Celyn Brown and Kristen Castell to discuss what ShareChange is doing in the Micro Finance space. This conversation spans broadly across what ShareChange is doing with Micro Lending to Entrepreneurs in unbanked regions but also more broadly about the importance of Micro Finance.
Key topics:
- How big financial institutions can stand to change and how they originally were against Impact Finance
- How the unbanked populations are also more affected by Climate Change
- How, in many countries, women are unable to get loans without a man's signature
- How learning through doing is the best way to get into impact finance
We hope you enjoy today's episode - please reach out with any specific questions or discussion points. If you're interested in being a show sponsor you can reach me at silasmahner@gmail.com
