IMPACT INVESTING:
A handbook to make a practical contribution to the accountability of impact in venture capital portfolios.
As part of a group of leading European impact-driven practitioners along with the EIF, FoodLabs wants to share our experiences of measuring impact in a pragmatic way, and linking impact to carried interest. Members of the coalition ranged from early- to late-stage and growth investors, and included the EIF, as a leading proponent of impact investment.
The handbook is targeted at any VC firm that is intentional about impact. This includes both Article 9 and mainstream funds. What we all share is a determination to have impact, and to support others.

This is not a guide, but a collection of shared approaches by early adopters.
