Market problems
Costly & inefficient portfolio management
The majority still use Excel spreadsheets to calculate impact-related metrics, which takes time and money.
Inaccurate impact measurement
Most investment entities rely on manual impact measurement without direct access to on-site data. It affects funds’ perfor-mance and their managers’ reputation.
Profitability and liquidity concerns
Limited liquidity and exit options, as well as uncertainty about appropriate financial re-turns prevent the market from rapid growth.
Mistrust chasm between projects and investors
Investors seek secured ownership rights and transparency, while projects fear bu-reaucracy and losing control over their projects.
