By publicly unpacking the hard data of our growth over the last decade, our ambition is to increase the level of transparency and knowledge sharing across the impact investing sector.

We also hope you’ve taken something away from our report, whether it’s inspiration from our portfolio companies or from our focus on DEI and founders’ health. We’d love to hear your questions, thoughts and comments as we strive to keep our minds wide open and continue to learn every day.

We see this report – like everything we do – as a constant work in progress. Going forward, we intend to add even more powerful information to our Impact Reports from both our portfolio companies and Ananda itself. Why? Because we’re genuinely excited to better evaluate our efforts through quantifiable data and use it to improve our mission.

This report shows that, twelve years into our journey as impact investors, we’ve actively helped to create an ecosystem for positive change and a vibrant impact investing scene.

While there is still more work to be done, we are incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved so far in forging a new future for venture capital where impact is no longer just “nice to have”, but a “must have”.

Thank you for reading. We very much look forward to sharing our new findings with you next year.
