Early-stage Social Impact Quantification & Analysis – a Model for Practical Application
You voted for thisAs the impact community refines its standards and guidelines for IMM practice, earlier stage applications are often overlooked. Angel, seed and Series A investors rarely inform their investment decisions with consistent social impact metrics, and for understandable reasons. There are fears of placing undue burden on founders – a sense that IMM is time consuming, expensive and difficult, and a recognition of the reality that earlier stage companies lack primary data for analysis. As a result, impact investments at this stage are often informed by loose, categorical impact affiliations rather than more rigorous, consistent predictive analytics.

Guided by trained experts, you’ll walk away with a clear framework and practical next steps to modeling your own company’s social impact potential.
