Quantified Ventures CEO Eric Letsinger recently spoke on a panel about “Investing in Peace” at the Venture Peacebuilding Symposium in Washington, D.C., where he and other partners unveiled the idea of a new fund to allow impact investors to support startups creating tech-based peace solutions, which would be a first-of-a-kind.

I met Katie for this interview on a gorgeous April day in 2017 in her office, which is warm, inviting, and overlooks DC’s Rock Creek Park – lush and alive on one of DC’s rare, humidity-free Spring days.

This week, I had the privilege of attending the Midwest Water Summit hosted by Confluence Philanthropy. We learned about the exciting work underway by a range of investors, foundations, technologists and corporations to address the myriad issues in the water sector.

Mark Kim arrives to Quantified Ventures’ offices, early as always, with a warm smile as if this is the meeting he’s been waiting for all day. This is typical. Having worked closely with him for the better part of a year to construct the world’s first Environmental Impact Bond (EIB), I’ve never seen him have a bad day despite the enormous responsibilities he carries as the CFO of the DC Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water).
