How to start a social impact venture fund
Challenges of starting a Social Impact venture fund are manifold as impact venture funds are becoming
increasingly instrumental in promoting social inclusion, providing alternative sources of
employment for marginalized social groups, and contributing to growth. In addition to financial
return targets, they are also supposed to pursue explicit social impact investment targets at the
level of their portfolio companies; measure and report on social impact performance achieved
at social enterprise level, in addition to financial return performance; and follow strong environmental,
social and governance standards in their own activities.
