IMPACT-OS

Helping organisations create digital accelerator programmes in Africa  

We provide technology to investors, Enterprise Support Organisations (ESOs), and accelerators to setup, white label and manage scalable online programmes to entrepreneurs

BENEFITS OF USING IMPACT-OS

Impact-OS combines decades of social innovation, entrepreneurial acceleration, deal experience,  technology, online curriculum and impact measurement expertise to: 

Reduce acceleration costs and scale access

Physical (in-class) incubation and acceleration is costly. Digital programme management can reduce costs substantially without eroding learning outcomes, whilst providing the opportunity to scale access to entrepreneurs living outside of metro cities.

Build a pipeline of investible deals

Impact Amplifier's tried and tested investment readiness process has  proven to speed up entrepreneurs' ability to access capital, whether it be grant, debt or equity. 
———

Support social and environmental impact

Impact-OS addresses the needs of impact businesses/social enterprises as these entrepreneurs are building new products and services for new markets, which requires unique content and expertise to get them ready for investment.
———

Ensure quality and consistency

Quality coaches/mentors and content are hard to find for acceleration programmes. Impact-OS has the tools and expertise to train coaches and create measurable standards for investment readiness programme delivery.

INTRODUCING IMPACT-OS

An investment readiness learning management and M&E system for impact-focused businesses. It has been designed to develop and manage customised acceleration, incubation and training programmes, from inception to implementation to impact measurement. 

Multiple course options

From investment readiness, to grant readiness, and a startup course, Impact-OS has differing course derivations based in sector, geography, stage and language (see French versions) 

Digital Communities

In connection to the learning management system used, Impact-OS also includes the ability to create and manage closed digital communities of entrepreneurs and mentors during and after the incubation or acceleration programme.

Adaptable Content 

While the courses are standardised, the content can be customised and white labeled extensively. Impact Amplifier often combines course curriculum, to produce best in class programmes. 

Services Options

Impact Amplifier will support your team as required. Whether it is providing mentors, financial analysts, and other auxiliary services to ensure your acceleration programme is a success.

BUILT IN MONITORING AND EVALUATION

Monitoring and Evaluation capacity is built into the system. You can track core business metrics for groups of entrepreneurs, Impact-OS usage rates, progress on each module, submissions made, mentor activity, and much more.

IMPACT

Beyond tracking key business metrics, Impact Amplifier can support Investors and ESOs to develop their impact frameworks to measure the social and environmental indicators of groups of businesses using Impact-OS.

Measuring the impact of incubation and acceleration programmes is still a nascent practice globally. Impact Amplifier has developed a robust approach to impact measurement for incubators and accelerators, which can be aligned to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

All of these tools are made available to Impact-OS users.
