Greetings, Agents of Impact!

Every investor wants an edge. That’s why today we’re launching ImpactAlpha Edge.

For more than a decade, ImpactAlpha has been helping you find the alpha in impact. With ImpactAlpha Edge, we’re bringing you structured data and market intelligence to help you move faster, invest smarter and multiply your impact.

We’ve taken all of our reporting, relationships and market knowledge and built an actionable intelligence platform with thousands of LP and GP profiles and many more thousands of allocations.

We’ve curated these allocators and managers in the cross-cutting categories Agents of Impact care about, from the Ownership Economy to emerging fund managers to catalytic capital providers to impact family offices. 

ImpactAlpha Edge is designed to help: 

• GPs and fund managers raise capital more effectively;
• LPs and allocators share pipeline and spot opportunities;
• Wealth advisors introduce confidence to impact themes and managers; and
• Ecosystem builders map where capital, demand and opportunity converge.

“Before ImpactAlpha Edge, it felt like we were spinning our wheels,” says Judy Li at 981 VC, who used the platform to find family offices backing emerging managers, “and dramatically improved outreach and response rates.” 

Smart money

ImpactAlpha Edge is our response to the demand from Agents of Impact for actionable intelligence that speeds the pace of decision-making. For the last six months, we’ve worked with many of you to build and test features, enrich data, and mobilize peers. 

We heard from you that it’s not enough to read in ImpactAlpha about funds that had closed; Agents of Impact want to get to know managers with compelling investment theses to place their capital with. Reporting on the portfolios of leading family offices and foundations is fine, but what about the emerging managers and strategies under consideration in their active pipelines?

Think of ImpactAlpha Edge as a purpose-built “PitchBook for impact,” with the editorial judgment and network trust that no algorithm can replicate.

For general partners, ImpactAlpha Edge provides an unmatched view into the real activity of the potential LPs they are seeking to reach. The platform “cuts valuable time in fundraising by surfacing the allocators who care about our strategy,” Community Investment Management’s Michael Hokenson told us. “Actionable intelligence, better matches, real efficiency.” 

Within hours of logging into ImpactAlpha Edge, the team at the impact-first holding company Trimtab Impact discovered an African fund of funds backed by a European investor they trust and put it into active due diligence; that allocation has just been greenlit to take to Trimtab’s investment committee. Trimtab is paying it forward by sharing its own pipeline with fellow investors on ImpactAlpha Edge.

ImpactAlpha Edge makes it easy to follow the smart money. To help mobilize more impact-first capital, the London-based family office Ceniarth is sharing its active pipeline of dozens of managers and strategies. Gary Community Ventures, World Education Services, A to Z Impact, Tsao Family Office, and others also are sharing their fund pipelines with fellow LPs on the platform.

Multiplying impact

The flywheel is spinning. ImpactAlpha Edge is designed not just to inform markets, but to move them.

In ImpactAlpha three years ago, Gary’s Santhosh Ramdoss and WES’s Smitha Das declared, “We are on the cusp of catalyzing an ownership movement.” Through our deep-dive reporting, and partnerships with Transform Finance, Ownership Capital Lab and others, we’ve identified nearly 100 GPs with home, community and employee ownership strategies and an even larger number of aligned LPs searching for more such opportunities – structured, linked and discoverable on ImpactAlpha Edge.

ImpactAlpha Edge amplifies such signals from across the impact investing market. Investors can find managers with verified impact practices assessed by BlueMark and funds that have earned transparency scores from Tameo. Networks of impact-aligned LPs, including the Catalytic Capital Consortium, the Growth Firms Alliance and others are sharing their strategies and their expertise. 

ImpactAlpha Edge is more than a database. It’s connective tissue for the people building and enabling a more inclusive, sustainable and regenerative economy. Actionable intelligence for Agents of Impact – like you. 

Move faster. Invest smarter. Multiply your impact. Book a demo today.

Warmly,
