Investment Thesis

4impact believes that companies focusing on sustainable and financial returns will outperform profit-led companies, with technology as the driver of accelerated impact. They are committed to backing tech4good ventures that deliver both measurable positive impact on planet and people combined with strong financial returns, operating under the conviction that ‘mission-driven companies attract the best talent, have a strong and engaged customer base, and answer to growing societal demand for sustainability.’

What Sets Them Apart

Dual focus on measurable impact AND financial returns - not impact at the expense of returns
Intentional and inherent impact requirement - every unit sold must have built-in impact
Specific geographic focus on North-Western Europe (Benelux, Nordics, DACH region) with deep local expertise
Technology-driven solutions emphasis - leveraging AI, blockchain, big data, remote sensing for exponential change
Strong commitment to diversity and inclusion - team and portfolio companies 'score far above the standard in their diverse mix of backgrounds and genders'
Active value-add partnership model - they invest in portfolio companies' positive development, not just capital provision
