Measuring the Impact Performance of Social Enterprises

Within the world of social impact, funding decisions are increasingly based on an enterprise’s ability to demonstrate that it has created meaningful impact for the people, planet, and communities it intends to serve. At present, 76 percent of impact investment firms worldwide set impact targets and measure performance on some or all of their investments. However, impact measurement remains a critical pain point for the industry. In response to this need, a Capstone team is developing a technology solution to help investors and social enterprises more effectively collect, measure, and report out impact performance data to key stakeholders. Unetrics is a web-based application designed for impact investors and social enterprises that will streamline data collection, simplify impact metric selection, automate impact analysis and projections, and provide real-time performance data.
