By launching Generations Powered by EDHEC, EDHEC and its alumni network have created their own impact investment fund, designed by and for graduates.

A fund that supports high-potential start-ups from their very beginnings, committed to developing more responsible practices in the service of future generations.

Enabling EDHEC graduates to invest collectively and responsibly, and to help bring sustainable business models to life.

🎥 To easily understand what this is all about, we invite you to start by watching the fund’s presentation video. In just a few minutes, it sets out the essentials: the ambition, how it works, and the spirit of the project.




Investing alongside Ring Capital and EDHEC: a reliable and accessible framework

The Generations Powered by EDHEC project was designed to be clear, well-structured and accessible, welcoming both alumni who have never invested in a fund before and more experienced investors.

  • A recognised fund manager: the fund is operated by Ring Capital, a leading impact private equity player, ensuring professional and rigorous management.
  • Support from EDHEC: a strong governance framework, backed by a recognised academic institution that safeguards the project’s coherence and ambition.
  • A collective investment: you invest alongside fellow alumni, pooling risks and decision-making.
  • An educational approach: no need to be an expert. Mechanisms, challenges and risks are explained clearly, without unnecessary jargon.
  • Alignment between values and investment: supporting committed entrepreneurs while adopting a long-term value creation approach.



A webinar to understand everything, ask your questions and look ahead

To make this opportunity accessible to all alumni, a webinar specially designed for non-specialists is being organised:

📅 Tuesday 17 February at 6.30 pm
🎯 Impact investing made accessible to all EDHEC alumni

This session will enable you to:

  • gain a clear understanding of what a seed fund is, 
  • discover the investment thesis of Generations Powered by EDHEC,
  • learn about the conditions for investing and the key points to keep in mind,
  • hear from alumni entrepreneurs supported by the fund,
  • freely ask all your questions, whatever your level.
