Impact Strategy & Measurement.

We design impact strategies, frameworks and measurement systems aligned with your investment goals.

Who it is for
Impact funds, CVC and family offices with impact goals, foundations and multilaterals that fund programs, and accelerators and investment vehicles that must report results.

Impact that can be measured, managed and reported.

Investors & ecosystem

How we think

Impact that is not measured cannot be managed, reported or funded.

The problem

More and more capital requires measurable impact.

LPs asking for reports, cooperation funders requiring a baseline and final measurement, corporates with ESG targets. Yet many funds and programs claim impact without a clear theory of change, with metrics that cannot be aggregated across portfolio companies, or with reports put together at the last minute.

We connect impact to the investment thesis from the design stage, so it can be measured, managed and reported.

What we do

Seven components.

Impact strategy

Impact goals aligned with the thesis: what change you seek, for whom, and how it relates to return.

Theory of change

A chain of inputs, activities, outcomes and impact, with explicit assumptions.

Metrics framework

Indicators by company or by program that can be aggregated at the portfolio level.

Baseline and measurement

Design of the baseline, midline and final measurement.

Gender lens

Gender criteria and indicators in the thesis, selection and monitoring.

Reporting

Impact and ESG reporting format for LPs, funders and committees.

Validation

Review of the framework with partners and sector experts.

Process

How we work.

1

Diagnosis

We review your thesis, portfolio or program and what you measure today.

2

Design

We build the strategy, the theory of change and the metrics framework.

3

Implementation

We define the baseline, data collection tools and who is responsible.

4

Reporting

We leave the reporting format ready and support the first cycle.

We work with recognized frameworks (IRIS+, TCFD, GHG Protocol, ESG reporting and ESG management) and adapt them to your thesis.

Who it is for

Who it is for and who it is not.

It is for you if…

  • Your thesis mentions impact, but you do not have a written theory of change.
  • Each portfolio company reports different metrics and you cannot add them up.
  • An LP, a funder or a corporate partner is asking you for an impact or ESG report.
  • You are about to launch a fund or a program and want impact built into the design.
  • You need to bring a gender lens into your thesis or portfolio.

How we work together

What we need and how we measure.

What we need from you

  • Investment thesis or program design.
  • Information on the portfolio or participating companies.
  • Reporting requirements from your LPs, funders or partners.
  • An internal owner for monitoring.

How we measure progress

  • Theory of change and metrics framework approved by your team.
  • Baseline collected within the agreed timeframe.
  • First impact report delivered to LPs or funders.

What we do not do

  • We do not certify impact or issue third-party verifications.
  • We do not claim impact that cannot be measured.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us.

Do you only work with impact funds?
No. We also work with traditional funds, corporates and programs that need to measure and report impact or ESG.
Can you measure the impact of a program that has already ended?
We can design a final measurement, but without a baseline the results are more limited. It works better to start at the design stage.
Do you use your own framework?
We work with recognized frameworks (IRIS+, TCFD, GHG Protocol) and adapt them to your thesis.
How is it contracted?
As a fixed project based on deliverables for the strategy and measurement framework, or with a monthly retainer to support ongoing measurement and reporting.
