Frequently asked questions
Who makes the investment decisions at Pangaea Impact Investments?
Co-founders Anthony Bohm (Managing Director) and Karen Bohm (Partner) lead the firm's investment activity. They previously co-founded and scaled the Think: Education Group and Open Colleges, where they were hands-on operators. Their decision-making draws on that direct management experience rather than a traditional institutional investment-committee structure.
How does Pangaea source its deals?
The Bohms lean heavily on their operating network within Australian education, healthcare, and impact-investing circles. Karen Bohm's role as a founding partner of EduGrowth and Anthony Bohm's mentorship at the Social Impact Hub provide proprietary access to founder-led businesses. The firm's association with the Toniic global impact network creates an additional sourcing channel across geographies.
What investment stages does Pangaea typically target?
Pangaea pursues buyouts, turnarounds, growth-stage, and early-stage start-up investments. This broad mandate reflects the Bohms' willingness to engage wherever their operating background can add value, rather than specializing in a single stage. The firm does not disclose a minimum or maximum check size.
How is Pangaea related to Think: Education Group and Open Colleges?
The Bohms co-founded both Think: Education Group, a vocational-education platform, and Open Colleges, one of Australia's largest online private educators. The capital they deploy at Pangaea originated from the eventual sale of those businesses. Their former business partner, Mark Rohald, and director Robert Gavshon collaborated with them on these ventures but do not hold named roles at Pangaea.
