The operating problem

Progress data arrived too slowly.

54 Collective needed an approach that could surface learning from its impact data quickly, without placing another survey burden on the founders it supports.

The story

54Collective (Formerly known as "Founders Factory Africa") is a pan-African company investing in transformative early-stage ventures, from founders with an idea to ventures raising a Seed round.

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.

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

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.
