About Penelope Trunk - Penelope Trunk Careers Penelope on Wikipedia | TechCrunch | LinkedIn | Twitter I am the founder of four start-ups and I write. A lot. Each company I built was focused on a community. My own career path has had twists and turns, which I document on this blog. My career began in Los Angeles, where I played professional beach volleyball. After that, I worked at a few smaller software companies and then started my own company, Math.com, a math-tools resource for the teaching community funded by Encore Software. During this time, I wrote a column for Business 2.0 magazine about my experiences as a startup founder. I decided to be a full-time writer so I did not have to leave my apartment. This was an important career move for me because I also started having children, and I pretty much had a breakdown making the transition to being a mom. I started writing career advice for a new generation of workers just as Generation Y was becoming a hot topic. We lived on the farm for eight years.

Estimates vary widely, but 300 million people are estimated to be direct beneficiaries of the microcredit movement, and more than $68 billion may be currently invested in the industry, according to a 2010 estimate from the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor, a unit of the World Bank. From one perspective, microfinance is the model that makes the case for impact investing: billions in capital mobilized from private investors to scale up delivery of beneficial products and services that reach hundreds of millions of poor people around the world. But having scaled successfully, questions arise: What has all this money bought for so many people? Sadly, the answer to these questions is no. Microcredit offers a valuable service to poor people whose incomes fluctuate and who face unexpected financial needs and crises, but it’s only a way of reducing some of the stress of poverty, not of eliminating it.
