What We Offer Our Founders

Flexible Capital

Hands-On Support

Leadership coaching, operational guidance, wellness resources, and help with impact measurement.

Visibility and Ecosystem Support

We support impact storytelling and connect you with networks and partners that amplify your growth.

“A lot of international impact measurement standards are really difficult for SMEs to meet. EIV met us where we were helping us create a way to track and communicate our impact that was realistic and sustainable for our business.”
