The Impact Engine
Overview
Impact Engine is a venture capital and private equity firm investing in companies driving positive impact in economic empowerment, education, environmental sustainability, and health equity. The firm invests in business models that align financial and social or environmental impact returns such that there is minimal or no tradeoff between the two. Ideally, they mutually reinforce each other: the impact drives value creation in the business and the business growth brings the impact to scale.
