Cliff Prior posted thisFrom Sci-Fi Vision to Reality: The Rise of the AI Companion In 1995, I read a masterpiece by #NealStephenson called #TheDiamondAge. It featured a device called the "Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer"—a magical, interactive book designed to protect and educate a young girl named Nell. The Primer wasn't just a textbook; it was a life-long mentor that adapted its stories to her real-world challenges, growing in complexity as she grew in age. I have dreamed about this Primer for decades. For 30 years, this was brilliant writing but pure science fiction. In 2026, it is becoming our reality. #Education: Building the "Primer" for every child We are finally moving beyond passive screens: The Socratic Shift: Tools like #Khanmigo now act as that adaptive mentor, refusing to "just give the answer" and instead guiding students through the struggle of learning. Personalized Quests: New platforms are using LLMs to turn curriculum into interactive stories, where a child’s progress in math directly affects the "hero's journey" they are reading. #Aging: The "Memory Anchor": The "Primer" concept is now being developed to support elders. For those facing memory loss, AI is becoming a vital "cognitive bridge." Proactive Companions: Devices like #ElliQ don’t wait for a command - they notice silence, initiate "reminiscence therapy" using old family photos, and help bridge the gap when words or names start to slip away. Digital Legacies: We are seeing the rise of "Memory Vaults"—AI that learns a person’s life story so it can act as a familiar, supportive anchor during moments of confusion. How close are we for these developments? The "Brain." We have the conversational AI to teach and comfort. The "Body." We’re moving from tablets to ambient home AI and robotics. The Vision: A world where technology doesn't just disrupt our lives, but provides a scaffold for them from childhood to our final years. Neal Stephenson’s #DiamondAge wasn’t just a story about a gadget; it was a story about how the right support at the right time can change a life. Finally, we can build that support. So here's the big question! Does this make you hungry to see these kinds of technology? Or worried that it would be such an intimate role in our lives? I’d love to hear your thoughts – and that book, The Diamond Age, is still a fabulous read! #AI #TheDiamondAge #EdTech #AgeTech #FutureOfHealth #Innovation #PersonalGrowth #CyberPunk

Cliff Prior shared thisScaleup Champions at the #ScaleSummit in the #BusinessDesignCentre - how joined up investors and smarter policy can grow UK innovation globally, without forcing scale ups offshore - with Grace Almendras Castillo @Marcus Stuttard, @Lewis D'Ambra, @Michael Smith, moderated by @Rupert Hargreaves of City AM. Much positivity in many areas but also recognising complexity, caution, and hesitancy. "We need to take more risks, open up pension funds, and invest within the UK" From Grace Almendras Castillo - "we need to recognize the changes in UK SMEs - modern SMEs, tech savvy, digital native, light on physical assets and low on big teams, often not recognized by investors". Getting this right is crucial to the future for modern SMEs and for the future of the UK's future."

Cliff Prior shared thisthank you Grace Almendras Castillo for these key questions of stewardship - and fundamentally, who is it for. Looking forward to hearing the outputs from this session at #ImpactSummitEuropeCliff Prior shared thisIncreasingly I am learning more about the different aspects of finance, investing, and where I am personally most interested in … Investing that leads to impact but this time moderating the discussion among institutional investors and asset owners on Stewardship in a Fragile and Fragmented World. There are tensions in Stewardship I hope to put forward to as moderator recognising the drivers of change. Regulation, Asset Ownership Pressure and Reputation and Legitimacy At a high level, - How are we thinking about the balance between fiduciary duty and broader responsibility? - How do we reconcile long-term stewardship ambitions with short-term performance expectations? - As private markets grow in influence, how should we think about accountability and stewardship in less visible parts of the market? - In a more complex environment, the quality of decision-making becomes even more important and that depends on the signals we use. Are we leveraging other signals that could illuminate more aspects of stewardship in the real world? Perhaps the question is not whether expectations around stewardship are increasing but whether our systems, incentives, and information are evolving fast enough to meet them. Looking forward to having a dynamic conversation with more relevant questions with Jamie Broderick Hanna Lukács Marta Jankovic and the broader audience. Thank you Phenix Capital Group Prachi Modi for inviting me to moderate. #Impactsummiteurope https://gifftid.ai/

Cliff Prior shared thisThe move from "global north" to Asia is clear. Thanks to Andrew Kuper for this data.Cliff Prior shared thisInvestments in global growth markets have surged 33% to record highs. But that isn’t even half the story… First, in LeapFrog Investments’ focus markets of India, South East Asia, Africa and Pan-EM, deal volume has surged a tremendous 58%. Second, total exit value for all markets has reached nearly $100bn, the second-highest year on record, much of it via public listings. We are in a new world — and forward-thinking global investors know it. Diversification to the Global South and East is an expectation. This should be a source of great hope for our world. Capital drives development, and the vast majority of people live in these countries. More from the new Global Private Capital Association research here: https://lnkd.in/gXHwFT_T

Cliff Prior shared thisThe rise of the Modern SME - light on their feet, small and highly capable teams, limited physical assets, deep relationships, digital natives, and forward looking across new sectors. This is how Grace Almendras Castillo led a session in the #TechUK conference - see below! #SMEs #ModernSMEs #futureofwork #FinancialLegibilityCliff Prior shared thisThe SME economy has changed. But the way we evaluate SMEs largely hasn’t. That was the central theme of our discussion at techUK this week. One idea stood out: The rise of the Modern SME. These firms often look very different from the traditional SMEs that financial systems were designed to evaluate. Many operate with: • Thin historical financial files • Limited physical assets • IP-rich value creation • Small, highly capable teams • Deep customer relationships in their communities • Digitally native or digitally evolved operations • Forward-looking work across climate, community health, agritech, financial schemes, energy, impact - driven and data-driven sectors Their signals of value are different. Yet these firms increasingly sit at the center of innovation, local resilience, and the future economy. So the real question becomes: How do we make modern SMEs legible to finance, investors, and corporate procurement? Some of the questions we explored together: • What signals are missing today when evaluating modern SMEs? • What forward-looking indicators would increase confidence in engaging newer or smaller firms? • Is the challenge really risk appetite or information asymmetry? • What additional information could complement traditional financial data to better understand SME risk? In the workshop sessions we went deeper: • What measurable signals could reduce false negatives when evaluating SMEs? • What scenarios often cause promising firms to be misunderstood? • What institutional barriers prevent integrating richer SME data or operational telemetry? • What governance safeguards are non-negotiable for banks, governments, foundations and other institutional capital allocators? Grateful for the thoughtful engagement from: Jamie Broderick Cliff Prior Jose Carvalho Nashwa (Joy) Saleh Sandy Feriz Susana Ponce Froment Sarah Ovenden Demi Ariyo Rob Lankey And thank you to Daniel Clarke Margot Stumm for the support at techUK for creating the space for this conversation. We will share the insights and outcomes from the sessions publicly soon. Because the challenge ahead is not simply supporting SMEs. It is learning how to interpret them properly to drive funding and procurement decisions. Another decison intelligence layer and infrastructure need to emerge. And when we do, we unlock a significant part of the modern economy that has been hiding in plain sight. #SMEs #AccesstoCapital #ModernSMEs #FinanceLegibility

Cliff Prior liked thisOn behalf of the Gifftid team, Advisors and early investors, I am thrilled that the journey we took has finally taken us to where Gifftid needs to land. The UK, London ecosystem have been an incredible environment for discovery, learning and building a finance, capital, commercial infrastructure that can lead to economic benefits for SMEs, local economic authorities, commercial banks, lenders, capital allocators, funds and corporate funds in the UK and beyond. We sit in the unique intersection of tech, AI, data, intelligence, capital where supply an demand will both gain value. Humans are always in the loop. Gifftid is UK Built. Thank you to the ecosystem that have made this all possible. Three shifts are reshaping SME finance and growth. 1. The rise of the modern SME Today’s SMEs are digital-first, operationally data-rich, and growth-oriented, yet many are still assessed using infrastructure built for a different era. 2. Forward-looking signals alongside historical data. Traditional credit systems focus on past performance. Modern decision-making also requires forward-looking signals such as cash behaviour, revenue trajectory, supplier discipline, and operational momentum. 3. Financial inclusion as a measurable outcome. Decision intelligence can help distinguish structural disadvantage from commercial weakness , identifying viable businesses existing systems may not yet fully evaluate. At Gifftid, we believe the future of SME finance and capital deployment lie in complementing existing systems with forward-looking operational intelligence. We are a neutral company serving all types of entities seeking and deploying capital, finance , commercial and impact transactions. Thrilled to become a contributor to Innovate Finance and learn at the same time! #ModernSMEs #SMEFinance #VentureCapital #BBB #LSEG #SocialEnterpriseUK #CDFIs #CombinedAuthorities #Impactinvesting #SocialFinance #ChallengerBanksCliff Prior liked thisWe welcome Gifftid as a new Innovate Finance Member 🎉 🔗 Join Our FinTech Community https://hubs.ly/Q04gC6Zb0 #InnovateFinance #FinTech #VoiceOfFinTech #InnovateFinanceMember #VoiceOfFinTech

Cliff Prior liked thisCliff Prior liked this🌟🌟We're extremely excited and proud to share that our Co-Founder and Chairman Laurence Lien has been named to this year's TIME 100 #Philanthropy List, recognising leading figures who are shaping the future of #giving across the world. He is the only figure from #Singapore and #SoutheastAsia to be named to the list since its inaugural edition in 2025. ➡️ READ THE ARTICLE HERE: https://lnkd.in/gD2JC2Rq Over the past two decades, Laurence has been a key figure in shaping the landscape of philanthropy in Asia. Aside from chairing APC, he leads the Lien Foundation with its model of 'radical philanthropy' investing in innovation to catalyse systemic change, establishing the Community Foundation of Singapore in 2008 to strengthen the local giving infrastructure, and co-founding Asia Community Foundation with Francesco Conrotto Caruso and Stanley Tan to enable more strategic, cross-border giving in the region. Laurence has been a long-standing champion of greater collaboration among philanthropists, and of a more strategic, locally-rooted, and systems approach to addressing the region’s most pressing and complex challenges. “For me, it is really about making the greatest difference on the ground,” he says to TIME. Laurence joins key global leaders in giving, from Rajiv J. Shah (The Rockefeller Foundation), our wonderful partner Asif Saleh (BRAC), who we are working with in piloting a fairer migration pathway to reduce debt for workers coming to #Singapore from #Bangladesh, and to our friend Xin Liu (ENLIGHT FOUNDATION), whom we are partnering with on a collaborative fund to advance ECD access for rural Chinese children under 3. ➡️ READ THE ARTICLE HERE: https://lnkd.in/gD2JC2Rq Esther Chang, CFRE Elizabeth Ee Sue Fertal Toomey

Cliff Prior liked this🗾 The impact investing market in Japan is evolving rapidly - and it was great to get a chance to meet with JANPIA on a recent trip. Building on BSC's design, Japan Network for Public Interest Activities (JANPIA) is a social investment wholesaler funded by local dormant accounts. They are focused on catalysing an impact venture and blended capital market in Japan - targeting especially support for children & young people and community regeneration. Lots of parallels with our work and opportunities for shared learning. Many thanks to Aiko Kozaki, Motoi Kawabata and Toshi Hayashi for hosting me on a holiday stopover!Cliff Prior liked thisJeremy Rogers Roger from Better Society Capital (BSC) stopped by Japan Network for Public Interest Activities (JANPIA) during his trip to Japan last month! BSC has grown the UK social impact investment market tenfold over 13 years — and much of what they've learned came from things that didn't go as planned. Their "Hall of Failure" database, which honestly documents every project that fell short, was a great reminder of just how important it is to learn from failure — not just celebrate success. We asked Jeremy: if you could go back to 2012, what would you do differently? His answer was candid and full of practical insight. Read the full interview here (only in Japanese): 👉 https://lnkd.in/gYN6bt9H A huge thank you to Motoi Kawabata of innovate with, who interpreted and moderated the session and also provided invaluable context and commentary throughout — which really helped our grant-making team deepen their understanding. --- 先月、英国の社会的インパクト投資機関Better Society Capital（BSC）のJeremy Rogers 氏が来日中にJANPIAに立ち寄ってくれました！ BSCは13年間で英国の社会的投資市場を約10倍に成長させてきた組織です。その学びの多くは失敗から生まれたもの。「失敗の殿堂（Hall of Failure）」という失敗事例のデータベースを謝入りなく記録・公開している姿勢は、「失敗から学ぶことの大切さ」を改めて実感させてくれました。 「もし2012年に戻れたら何を変えるか？」——Jeremy氏の率直な答えが印象的でした。 インタビュー記事はこちら👇 https://lnkd.in/gYN6bt9H 通訳・モデレートに加え、丁寧な解説もいただいたinnovate withのMotoi Kawabata川端元維氏のおかげで、助成事業チームのメンバー等の理解も深まり、大変ありがたかったです！ https://lnkd.in/gjCnpBwk「失敗から学ぶ」――英国BSCの13年が教えてくれたこと ～Better Society Capital Jeremy Rogers氏との対話｜JANPIA出資事業部note | インパクト投資の世界を広げる「失敗から学ぶ」――英国BSCの13年が教えてくれたこと ～Better Society Capital Jeremy Rogers氏との対話｜JANPIA出資事業部note | インパクト投資の世界を広げる

Cliff Prior liked thisCliff Prior liked thisI attended the G7 France event organised by Finance in Common last week. Despite of 23% decline in ODA, the #G7 countries still represent 70% of development funding. Here are some highlights of the meeting: 📣New proposals: ✅Help #PDBs become a new asset class, to reduce PDB funding costs and unlock greater private capital mobilisation ✅Create a PBD guarantee hub to reinforce the catalytic role of PDBs, targeting up to $10bn in guarantees ✅Systematically develop the “Country Platform” model as nationally-led frameworks, to structure the dialogue, originate more quality projects, blend financial flows 💡Key messages and insights: ▶ ️Improvement of efficiency and coordination will not suffice. Capital market development is essential. ▶ OECD - OCDE Mathias Cormann data shows 5X mobilisation in the past decade mostly driven by multilateral banks. The trajectory is encouraging but we need more. ▶ ️“The plans are great but the plans are collecting dust. Everyone is willing but in practice very little is happening” Alexander De Croo UNDP ▶ ️Concessional finance needs to be used with care to create the environment and the pipeline not to support specific projects. ▶ ️MIGA: development finance is now about leveraging capital markets and private finance. But there is a major risk that is not being discussed: the stability of the financial system. Are we protected against a crisis like the one in 2008? ▶ ️For infrastructure debt the cost of capital in Africa is 2.5X higher than in OECD countries. #GEMs data base says that Africa recovery rates are 78% whereas for the rest of the world are 60-70%. Yet risk perception has not changed. "If you are born outside of OECD countries you are very unlucky independently of how good you are. These are simple things that we can change.“ Vera Songwe ▶ Yann Le Pallec S&P Global says that to be able to rate development banks they need data about loss and recovery by originating entity. They note that it’s difficult to have a national development bank rated better than a sovereign unless really ringfenced incl in terms of governance. Finally it was an honor to participate in the standing ovation for Rémy Rioux thanking him for his work at Agence Française de Développement as he transitions to Chairing Finance in Common, which will become a new legal entity. Thanks to the amazing team and people who are pushing for progress on these agenda items Adama MARIKO Arthur Pataud Jimena Iraheta Catherine Collin and others.

Cliff Prior liked thisCliff Prior liked thisThe Better Futures Fund (BFF) is moving from ambition into action. Today, the UK Government opened its search for a delivery partner for Round 1 of the BFF, the first major procurement milestone since the fund was announced. Once selected, the delivery partner will oversee the commissioning of Social Outcomes Partnerships (SOPs) for Round 1, which commits up to £37 million to tackling child poverty. It’s a model with a proven track record: more than 100 have already launched across the UK, supporting over 100,000 people. The Better Futures Fund has the scale and the government commitment to take that further with up to £1 billion over ten years, supporting 200,000 children, young people and families. The market is ready. We look forward to supporting partners across government, local communities and the investment world to make this fund as successful as it can be for families across the country.

Cliff Prior liked thisCliff Prior liked thisWhat does it look like when impact investors integrate systems thinking as a practice? Two years ago, we started this work by exploring how a systems lens influences what impact investors do. Last year, we introduced the Primer, which identified six shifts and how they can show in practice. The Playbook followed with eight tools to address awareness, strategy, investments, governance, and IMM. Over the past year, we've presented at Latimpacto, African Venture Philanthropy Alliance (AVPA), AVPN, Impact Europe, Impact Frontiers, and various webinars and workshops. We also recently completed a Learning Cohort with 7 foundations and family offices, who worked through Primer and Playbook, and shared their experiences and questions. This year at Skoll World Forum, we convened ~60 people to share what we've learned (slides below). Four questions repeatedly come up across these rooms: > Boundaries: How broadly do you define the system you're working in? The choices are often around having a wide enough frame to be ambitious, but narrow enough to allow for focused attention. > Role: In what ways are you acting directly, or influencing indirectly? If you're leading primarily with capital, what other aspects (knowledge, relationships, convening) are necessary alongside, and in what combination? > Capital: How do your philanthropy, investment, and non-financial engagements interact in practice? What guides the mix, and how does it need to respond to what the system requires and what other actors are doing? > Posture: How do you hold the balance between planning and structuring how you act upfront, versus taking a more flexible approach that evolves based on feedback and system dynamics? We heard from Access - The Foundation for Social Investment on how they've navigated these questions, and 3 things stood out: → Seb Elsworth MBE shared how they moved from a supply-demand strategy to one that is advancing ecosystem health, and how the levers of change work together. → Lydia Levy described how they adapted KPIs to track not only capital flows and investor influence, but also system-level indicators like partner resilience and ecosystem health. → Emilie Goodall explained how governance evolved alongside strategy and IMM. The board continues to adapt how they work, aligning conventional responsibilities with a systems lens. A positive signal: we keep seeing many organizations already doing aspects of this - mapping ecosystems, blending capital, investing in relationships - without necessarily labeling it as systems work. We think there's upside to making these practices more deliberate, and previewed a practice check that helps you assess where systems thinking has actually changed your decisions. Grateful to Heather Grady & Alejandro Alvarez von Gustedt at Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, to everyone in the room as well as the learning cohort and partners who contributed to this work, and to Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship for hosting us.
