BW on tracking social impact (quoting Professor Bugg-Levine!)

Check this Business Week article out on a new system for tracking social impact that was unveiled at the Clinton Global Initiative last week. Acumen Fund has teamed up with Google and Salesforce to develop a new way of measuring social impact, which is sorely needed as we saw yesterday in class.
Our optimistic Professor is quoted in the article. He thinks a lot of capital could flow into this field if there were proper metrics available to investors (although he may have a joke or two about it...).
