<blockquote>In  this discussion paper, we argue for a shift in focus—toward the goal of  scaling entire industry sectors, in addition to individual firms. Our  experience from the past eight years is that impact investors can  massively increase the number of lives they touch by concentrating  investments in specific industry sectors in specific geographies, and by  investing in a range of organizations to accelerate the development of  these industry segments. The need for investment is particularly acute  at the earliest stages of innovation, which provide the foundation in  which entire new sectors can emerge and scale rapidly by tapping  commercial capital markets.” <strong>Source:</strong> <a href="http://www.omidyar.com/sites/default/files/Priming%20the%20Pump_Omidyar%20Network_Sept_2012.pdf" target="_blank">Matt Bannick &amp; Paula Goldman, Omidyar</a></blockquote>
