Group 2 - Impact Measurement is looking at the challenges of impact measurement from an impact-tech start-up perspective and impact-tech VC perspective with the aim to bridge the gap between the two, allowing for more funding to impact-tech start-ups, more investments for impact-tech VCs and scaling of the impact-tech sector (in Germany).
<aside> ❓ Impact-tech start-ups (early stage) lack impact "track record" to measure impact
</aside>
<aside> ❓ Impact-tech start-ups lack resources (time & money) to measure impact
</aside>
<aside> ❓ The wide range of Impact frameworks, ratings etc are overwhelming/confusing
</aside>
<aside> ❓ Impact-tech start-ups are often unaware what 'impact criteria' investors are looking for
</aside>
From Impact-tech VC P.O.V:
<aside> ❓ Impact-tech VCs struggle to assess the impact of early stage impact-tech start-ups
</aside>
<aside> ❓ (Other problem statements to look at in interviews)...
</aside>
<aside> 💡 Survey Impact VCs to understand the most important 'impact criteria' they assess as part of investment process
</aside>
<aside> 💡 Build these impact criteria into an easy-to-use tool for early-stage impact-tech start-ups to assess their impact/ impact potential
</aside>
<aside> 💡 Create a reference resource of existing frameworks, ratings etc for later-stage impact start-ups (? TBC)
