How we define Impact
As a regulated impact fund, our investment framework follows
the principles outlined by the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN):
Intentionality
Impact is at the core of every step of our investment process, from sourcing to closing.
We target companies that can deliver financial and extra-financial performance to ensure that they generate a positive and quantifiable social impact.
We believe successful Edtech and Future of Work solutions should improve learning outcomes and be available to as many learners & workers as possible.
Additionality
We proactively support our portfolio companies to help them achieve their impact mission and scale their positive impact.
Impact Measurement
We have designed our own proprietary methodology to monitor the impact of our portfolio companies.
We set quantitative goals with our portfolio companies to track and assess their impact performance and share results in transparency.
We evaluate and monitor three key Impact Performance Indicators (IPI), Reach, Inclusion and Outcome to fund projects that are impact-driven and can be globally adopted.
Impact is deeply rooted in Educapital’s identity.
We are convinced that for Edtech and Future of Work products to succeed in the long term, they must improve learning outcomes and be available to as many learners and professionals possible, no matter who or where they are.
We have thus designed our own proprietary methodology to go beyond this regulatory framework.
We evaluate and monitor three key Impact Performance Indicators (IPI), Reach, Inclusion and Outcome to fund projects that are impact-driven and can be globally adopted.
Reach
Educating and empowering the greatest number of learners and workers.
Inclusion
Providing education and career opportunities to all, fighting all forms of discrimination.
Outcome
Improving learning efficacy and fulfilment at work.
Contributing

We are particularly active when it comes to foster diversity in tech and enpowering women entrepreneurs.
Educapital has been awarded the B Corp certification, recognizing its commitment to meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
