Paul Rabinovitch is an impact investor, sustainable developer, and entrepreneur. He is the founder of Net Positive Capital, a fund that seeks to build a channel for capital to flow into net positive real estate. He has decades of experience investing in healthy vibrant places and his career is built on the principle that social benefit and profit are not mutually exclusive. He’s been on the leading edge of the impact investing movement in the United States and is hopeful that the rest of the investment community is finally ready to catch up. Recently he put his years of wisdom and knowledge into a book, Investment Opportunities in Decarbonizing Real Estate, and launched his fund to put that knowledge into action. 

Paul and show host Neal trace Paul’s life journey and most formative professional and personal experiences. They discuss the influence of his mother, an architect who gave him an appreciation for the beauty of buildings and neighborhoods, as well as his early work with Nature Conservancy, where he learned about the biology of mature plant communities and how they relate to urban communities. They dive into his time as a brownfield developer and his experience managing a personal fund for an influential matriarch with a firm commitment to impact investing. Finally, they discuss Paul’s newly established fund as well as the state of impact investing the U.S. and abroad, and some of the obstacles to growth.
