Welcome to Sunday!
We hope you’re kicking back with a warm cup of coffee or tea, or perhaps something stronger depending on your tastes. And, we hope you enjoy our weekly assortment from Tweets from the week gone by.
It was a week of big announcements and big thinking. But what got the most Tweets and reTweets seemed to be the warm embrace of impact investing by none other than New York Times Columnist David Brooks. For a sector eager to go mainstream, there’s no better mainstream acknowledgement than that of Brooks and the U.S. newspaper of record. (And that shouldn’t be taken in a pejorative sense).
As always, please Tweet or direct message your favorite Tweets of the week to @NextBillion, @NextBillionHC or @NextBillionFI. Here’s to a great week to come.
