Paul Richardson at Renewal Funds designs exits around impact using a clear checklist that prioritizes fair employee treatment, mission protection, and strategic buyer alignment rather than treating mission as secondary to price, as demonstrated through exits like Alter Eco to a 100-year Evergreen fund and Sweet Earth to Nestlé with plant-based commitments intact. He structures his fund with flat LP terms regardless of commitment size and uses mission-aligned limited partners as intellectual capital for portfolio support, while requiring all LP conversations to begin with Renewal's mission-focused approach rather than emphasizing short-term returns.
