SET Ventures is proud to announce a new handbook for impact accountability in VC. During this year’s Impact Week Summit. SET Ventures together with members of European impact-driven VC funds ETF Partners, Astanor, Foodlabs and Sofinnova Partners unveiled a new document to bring commonality and coherence to the diverse approaches VC funds take toward impact accountability.
The handbook, titled: Impact Accountability in Venture Capital: A Ready-Reference for Practitioners provides practical guidance for VCs seeking to integrate impact into their carried interest models. The project was undertaken in close collaboration with The European Investment Fund (EIF) and supported by the European Commission, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the EUInvest Advisory Hub.
