Pre-and-post progress is slow to see

54 Collective (formerly Founders Factory Africa) is a pan-African early-stage investor across FinTech, HealthTech, and more, running four programs: Academy, Build, Scale, and an Embedded Impact & Learning team.

Evaluating each venture’s progress over time was time-consuming, and the team wanted to do it without adding burden to founders.

Operationalised, starting with the Academy

Sopact operationalised the impact framework beginning with the Academy: historical data connected to the Impact Cloud and indicators mapped to a dashboard.

The Embedded Impact & Learning team coordinates the data in one suite so decisions draw on it directly.

Learning in weeks, not quarters

The team began learning from the data within a month and collecting new progress data shortly after — venture progress visible without the founder-survey burden.

The Embedded Impact and Learning Team is coordinating and managing impact data with Sopact Suite, so we can make informed decisions.
