Design repeatable impact model

Introduction

What is it and how does it align with traditional venture building?

Designing a repeatable business model is a key step in a growing venture’s journey. Good impact practice here means designing the business model with the long-term impact objectives of the company in mind. For example, designing a value proposition around fixing a social problem, reaching underserved groups and leveraging creative revenue models.

How does it drive impact?

A repeatable impact model unlocks a path to sustainability and scale which locks in impact, preserving it over time.

How does it drive commercial value?

Impact can be a source of value in many ways (including reducing risk and driving retention). Baking it into the business model will help to lock in these benefits and ensure that impact is a driver of organisational performance over time.

In practice

What does good look like?

This is a relatively new area that founders and investors are thinking about. Intuitively it makes sense that a business model has to be aligned with impact to build a business capable of performing well and achieving positive outcomes. What exactly that looks like is still unclear. More thinking has been done on the revenue model (see impact go-to-market).
