A pan-African venture investor operationalising impact measurement across its programs, starting with the Academy.

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.
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.
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.
