Reflections on 2022: Ktisis Capital Impact Report

Reflections on 2022: Ktisis Capital Impact Report

2022 was a year of great success, both for Ktisis Capital and for our clients across the globe. As the world moved out of the isolation phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, we faced an unstable and unpredictable global economy, continued threats to democracy, a deepening climate crisis, and BIPOC and queer communities endured worsened violence and mistreatment. Yet through all of these challenges we persevered and in many ways even thrived.

We are proud of the achievements attained in 2022. We invite you to celebrate with us through our annual impact report, and we look forward to the change we can enact together in the coming year.
