In episode 82 of the Investing in Impact podcast, I speak with David Lynn, Co-Founder and CEO of Mission Driven Finance (MDF), an organization focused on closing capital gaps and catalyzing economic opportunities in underserved communities.
In this conversation, David shares his unconventional journey from tech to finance and the catalysts that led him to establish MDF.
We dive into MDF’s mission to bridge capital gaps by focusing on private credit and real estate to support local businesses, and David highlights the importance of community-driven due diligence, where relationships are prioritized over traditional metrics.
David also discusses the diverse sources of capital backing MDF, including foundations, high-net-worth individuals, and institutional investors, and MDF's expansion from its roots in San Diego to a national scale.
Looking forward, he outlines MDF's ambitious goal of moving a billion dollars into communities by 2027 and the broader potential for blended finance policies to drive growth in impact investing.
