Positive assess impact in 3 main ways:

1. Understanding the systemic effects of the solution, considering the beneficiaries, scale, depth, and duration of the impact, and the decisiveness of the solution to solve the problem;
2. Defining and analyzing each business model’s KPIs and;
3. Managing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues such as diversity, community engagement, and carbon footprint.

Our impact framework process permeates all phases of the investment analysis. Positive Ventures combines the best practices of mainstream venture investing with a diligent impact analysis. We leverage the collective knowledge using several tools, such as the Impact Management Platform (IMP), B Impact Assessment, and IRIS+ from GIIN, to bring assertiveness to our research. All these frameworks integrate in different phases of our process:
