The Catalyst: Inside social investment

The Catalyst, a new seven-part podcast season by Firstport, hosted by our Head of Investment Programmes, Emily Macdonald.

In Episode 4 of The Catalyst, Emily Macdonald is joined by Susan Aktemel, founder and chief executive of Homes for Good.

Together, they explore Susan’s journey from founding Impact Arts to creating Homes for Good, Scotland’s first social enterprise letting agency. The conversation looks at entrepreneurship, burnout, property, social investment, and what it takes to build a values-led organisation that can attract significant investment while staying rooted in social purpose.
