Tracy Gray – The Crucial Role That Capital Can Play in Creating a More Equitable World

The Nick Halaris Show

This week on The Nick Halaris Show we are featuring Tracy Gray, the Founder and Managing Partner of The 22 Fund. Tracy is an innovator and visionary leader passionate about justice and dedicated to building a more equitable world. Her fund is incredibly unique, not only in its socially conscious intent but also in its investment strategy.

I wanted to have Tracy on the show to shine a big spotlight on the important work she’s doing with The 22 Fund and get her views on what it’s really going to take to create a fairer, more equitable world. Tracy and her colleagues at The 22 Fund are working on the frontlines of three very important missions—one aimed at expanding access to entrepreneurial opportunities for underrepresented groups, another aimed at building the clean tech economy, and another supportive of the American Dream in a broader sense by working to create sustainable manufacturing jobs. Whatever our politics, these are missions we can all get behind! Tune in to this important episode to learn:

• Why Tracy believes clean tech manufacturing companies with export potential represent such a unique growth opportunity
• Why it’s so important to get serious about fixing the racial and gender disparities in the investment industry
• How the strategic use of capital can play such a crucial role in the effort to create a more equitable world
• What’s working and not working in the social impact investing world
• & Much, much more

Stay tuned to the end to learn how growing up in a military family inspired Tracy’s lifelong commitment to justice and civic engagement and still motivates her work today. You will also hear how Tracy plans to use The 22 Fund as a platform to create a whole new center of power in the investment world for women and people of color.

As always, I hope you all enjoy this episode. Thanks for tuning in!
