Vested Impact’s Post

I’m beyond excited to share that Vested Impact has successfully raised £1.1M in investment with the backing of Impact Shakers and HearstLab 🚀 🙌 With this funding, we’re scaling our award-winning platform, which automatically assesses and quantifies the material impact and risks of companies' products, services and activities on over 160 different social and environmental SDG targets; leveraging over 200 million academic papers and access to over 100 million impact data points. I started Vested Impact over 5 years ago, with a mission to measure what truly matters and ensure that understanding impact and risk goes beyond financial metrics to support people and the planet. And whilst 5 years may have felt like a long journey, it has allowed us to not just build out a market leading solution with data on the impact of over 2 million SME's, but it has enabled us to carefully find the investors that align with our vision for Vested Impact - and i am so very excited for this next phase and those we get to do it with! I want to take this moment to especially thank; 🧠 My team at Vested Impact, and in particular Daniel White who has spent years rebuilding my questionable code into the fab system it is 🤷♀️ 🤝 Our incredible Advisory Board who over the years steered, supported and cheered us through some incredible (and tough) times: Kathy Jenkins, Nicola Breyer, Elizabeth Broderick, Anna-Marie Slot, JD, Mark Bloxham 🚀 And the supporters who helped "accelerate" us over the years: Village Capital Europe, Village Capital, FinTech Innovation Lab London , Ashurst FinTech Legal Labs, Paris Peace Forum, UBS Project Female Founder, Mastercard Strive, Grow London Together, we’re building the data we need for the future we want 🚀🌿.
