Our new fund Nesta Impact Investments invests in UK social ventures which deliver both scalable social outcomes and sustainable financial returns. An area of particular interest for the fund is the use of technology to deliver impact: what we call 'Impact Tech' or 'Tech for Good'.
08.02.2013The UK's comparative advantage in developing the impact investment market, together with the relatively small size of supply relative to present and future demand, provides an opportunity for the UK to lead the world in investing in public and social innovation, and in developing innovations in ways of financing for impact. The Impact Investment industry could be a great British success story.
19.11.2012The impact investment market is increasing its focus on defining, evidencing and measuring the impact of organisations receiving finance and of the organisations providing it.
16.11.2012In our last blog post we looked at how the shift to outcomes based purchasing in the public sector is changing the nature of demand for impact investment, and how investors are responding to that.
13.11.2012As we discussed in the first of these blogs, the UK impact investment market developed initially through a desire to see better access to capital for registered charities and other traditional social sector organisations.
