PEF+: A New Renaissance, Rethinking Philanthropy for Real Impact
by PEF (Post Exit Founders) Community
About this event
Join us for a session on how philanthropy can drive meaningful change through science, technology, and innovation. Inspired by the Renaissance era, where bold patrons funded breakthrough ideas, this event explores how modern philanthropy can take a more strategic and high-impact approach.
Today, the challenge is not a lack of capital, but how it is deployed. While global wealth continues to grow, only a small portion is directed toward high-impact initiatives. At the same time, solving large-scale problems like climate, health, and economic mobility requires new approaches, not just scaling existing solutions.
In this session, we will explore how individuals and organizations can become effective changemakers by focusing on strategy, leverage, and execution. You’ll be introduced to practical frameworks and tools used to support innovation, shape markets, and unlock progress at scale.
What you’ll learn:
Why philanthropy is uniquely positioned to fund high-risk, high-impact innovationHow to move from funding projects to building systems and creating leveragePractical tools such as market-shaping, policy entrepreneurship, and thesis-driven fundingHow to identify bottlenecks and choose the right strategy for maximum impact
This space is designed for individuals interested in using capital more effectively to support long-term, meaningful progress.This session will be led by Ronit Kanwar. Ronit is the Managing Director of Renaissance Philanthropy where he works with numerous families and foundations on funding frontier research. He is the founder of P150, a global community of philanthropy advisors, which has unlocked $1Bn over the last three years. Prior to philanthropy, Ronit was an entrepreneur building a company in India and worked at Schmidt Futures, a philanthropic initiative of Eric and Wendy Schmidt.
