Hours lost across tools

Boston Impact Initiative builds financial, social, and political power for entrepreneurs of colour to close the racial wealth gap. In 2022 it fully deployed Fund I, launched Fund II, and trained forty fund managers.

Due-diligence, non-financial, and investee-feedback data lived across multiple tools, and pulling it together took hours the small team did not have.

THE LOOP
THE LOOP

Strategy, survey, and one dashboard

Sopact built an actionable impact strategy with metrics, an impact-assessment survey, and an investor-highlights dashboard tracking diversity, wealth and asset building, and quality jobs.

The dashboard feeds the annual impact report and surfaces qualitative and quantitative insight without technical staff.

Back to the mission

With the data needs solved, the team learns from qualitative and quantitative evidence without deep technical knowledge — and spends its time training fund managers and building funds.

Now they can learn from all the qualitative and quantitative data without any technical knowledge in the team and they can focus on maximizing their impact.

"I am so glad that many of our data needs are solved now since I can learn from all the qualitative and quantitative data without spending much time and having complex technical knowledge in the team. I can focus on traning more fund managers cohort and building impactful funds."
