Accelerating Impact Businesses
Direct Acceleration
Delivered either as a group-based process or with individual businesses, Impact Amplifier’s investment readiness accelerators are typically 3-12 months in duration, covering:
- Impact Case – problem, solution, metrics;
- Market Identification – customer segmentation and sizing;
- Market Access – sales, distribution, competition, and value proposition;
- Strategic growth planning;
- Finance – modelling and long-term planning; and
- Pitching – investment documents and presentations.
After hosting over 12 acceleration programmes for social enterprises, Impact Amplifier recognised the acute need for an online platform to both ensure the quality and consistency of content, but also accessibility. Trading under the brand Impact-OS, Impact Amplifier developed an end-to-end platform-based solution for incubators and accelerators to deliver investment readiness training, monitoring and evaluation, network management and impact assessments.
This platform provides a module-by-module approach to investment readiness where entrepreneurs can self-study or be facilitated through the process with a coach. Its flexibility caters to a broad spectrum of business development needs and pre-existing skills using a combination of videos, webinars, and step-by-step instructions through the process.
We invite Investors and Enterprise Support Organisations looking to build their investment readiness capacity to try the first module of our 9-module Investment Readiness Course, free. Try it, free
Training and Workshops
Beyond its accelerators and virtual platform, Impact Amplifier also offers workshops on: the various aspects of the investment readiness process; building social enterprise ecosystems; impact investment; ethical supply chain creation; impact assessments; and how to build commercial solutions to social and environmental challenges.
