Catalytic Capital Consortium: Indigenizing Catalytic Capital

"Indigenizing Catalytic Capital" by First Peoples Worldwide explores how catalytic capital—investment that accepts higher risk or lower returns to generate positive impact—can support Indigenous self-determination and economic success. It introduces the concept of "Catalytic Capital +" which emphasizes integrating grant and investment capital, providing long-term support, offering technical assistance, and fostering equitable relationships between investors and Indigenous entrepreneurs. The study highlights that when investors align with Indigenous values and priorities, such investments not only empower Native enterprises but also drive systemic change rooted in Indigenous communities.
