East Asian Impact Capital Gets Its Own Playbook
ImpactAlpha profiled Doug Lee as Asia Impact Nights turned 10, revisiting the development of East Asia's impact-investing scene. Lee founded D3 Jubilee Partners 15 years ago, when Korea's impact-investing ecosystem was still young, and has helped shape a regional approach to capital and purpose.
The value is geographic and philosophical. Impact investing is often narrated through U.S. and European institutions, but East Asian capital brings different relationships among family wealth, government, entrepreneurship and social legitimacy. For an international business publication, that widens the purpose conversation beyond familiar Western templates.
