HIP Investor is a team of experts in sustainable and profitable growth. Together with their partner the Social Venture Technology Group, HIP + SVT have developed a unique HIP framework to measure human, social and environmental impacts of products, processes and portfolios — and to measure the results. Founded on the premise that boosting net-positive human impact leads to even higher profit, HIP is using its innovative scorecard tool to demonstrate how solving human problems yields Human Impact + Profit.
HIP Investor consults to investors, companies and entrepreneurs on how to create positive-impact products, tap markets of human problems, grow financially, and benefit society.
Our blog, The HIP Investor , is our space for discussion and commentary on anything from books, to headlines, to earnings reports. No matter what the topic, we are constantly taking a "HIP" perspective as we seek to help entrepreneurs, investors, and consumers meet the triple bottom line.
