Reduce time and cost to launch funds, attract new capital, and build better pipelines
Context
Impact investing firms operate in a capital market that demands both financial returns and verifiable societal value. Yet most impact investing firms face a limited supply of credible, scalable opportunities and a high burden of proof when it comes to impact. Non-financial outcomes—like avoided costs, improved wellbeing, or social resilience—are difficult to quantify, verify, or monetize within existing frameworks.
How Impact@Scale helps
Impact@Scale enables Impact investing firm to design and operate multiple funds within shared impact ecosystems. This creates reusable infrastructure—shared theories of change, benefit-sharing frameworks, verified data capture systems—that reduce the marginal cost and complexity of launching new funds. It also unlocks synergies across your portfolio: one fund’s insights, actors, and outcomes can strengthen the next.

Example use case
By applying the Impact@Scale approach, an impact investing firm looking to launch an education-to-employment impact fund would structure the fund around a shared ecosystem Theory of Change—focusing on youth employment outcomes. Rather than building the fund in isolation, the Impact investing firm collaborates from the outset with public agencies, employers, educators, and civil society actors to co-design shared outcomes and define measurable value streams.
Using Impact@Scale’s verification infrastructure and benefit-sharing model, the fund is able to offer auditable, monetizable outcomes tied to real-world indicators—such as reduced youth unemployment, improved job retention, or avoided welfare costs.
This shared architecture creates a stronger value proposition for institutional investors, who gain confidence in the fund’s ability to deliver verified, scalable societal impact. At the same time, investee companies are identified through the ecosystem platform, pre-aligned with the outcomes the fund is designed to support
What this means for your organization
Impact@Scale gives your Impact investing firm a competitive edge—not just by verifying impact, but by embedding your capital into ecosystems that generate value faster, scale more reliably, and align stakeholders with shared purpose. Whether you’re launching your next fund or looking to scale an existing one, we help you build the trust infrastructure to do it better and faster.
