About Us

TWIST (Together We Invest for Systems Transformation) is a collective of investors, practitioners, and facilitators from around the world who are actively deploying capital and/or facilitating processes for positive systems change.

Originally conceived in 2020 by Charly Kleissner and Tharald Nustad, TWIST was officially launched at Katapult Future Fest in May 2022 with support from Alexandra Korijn and Alison Fort through the Katapult Foundation, initially under the name IMP+. Since then, TWIST has expanded into a global initiative, guided by a 13-member Steering Committee and enriched by 93 Community of Practice members. These members now represent 4 continents and 16 countries, and have collectively contributed 42 case studies to date*, each highlighting a distinct opportunity in investing for systems change.

Ultimately, TWIST envisions a world in which all capitals are effectively activated for positive systems transformation, so that mother earth and all living beings can thrive. TWIST’s role is to activate the investor community and foster an enabling environment for positive systems transformation. We invite you to join us on this mission.

Their insights, wisdom and work have informed our understanding of this emergent field. They continue to contribute by sharing their work, and through our various TWIST work streams. Together, we are working to shape the development of this field of investing for systems change. We invite you to join us on this mission.
