In his TEDxBocaRaton talk, Sean Davis, Founder and Managing Partner of Merton Capital Partners, presents an innovative approach to philanthropy. He highlights that over $1 trillion pledged by philanthropists remains unused due to a lack of scalable deployment mechanisms. Davis introduces "philanthropic private equity" as a solution, aiming to channel these funds into large-scale social and environmental projects by partnering with private companies .

This model seeks to address pressing issues like affordable housing, clean water, and climate change by leveraging the operational capacity of private enterprises. By investing philanthropic capital into these sectors, the approach not only accelerates the deployment of funds but also ensures sustainable and measurable impact.
