Value Add

Self-described as "The largest European Edtech & Future of Work VC" (market positioning / scale).
One of the first — and the fund claims to be the "first impact fund in its sector" — to combine Edtech investing with a regulated impact framework (Article 9) and proprietary impact methodology.
Proprietary Impact Performance Indicators (IPI) framework focused on three measurable metrics: Reach, Inclusion and Outcome (they "evaluate and monitor three key Impact Performance Indicators (IPI), Reach, Inclusion and Outcome").
Explicitly uses a "risk-return-impact model" to make investment decisions (integrates impact into investment calculus).
Strong emphasis on diversity and gender balance: highlights that "40% of its portfolio companies have been (co-)founded by women" and is a B Corp-certified management company.
Sector-specialist track record and network (launched in 2017; portfolio and exits in Edtech & Future of Work such as 360Learning, Labster, Preply, LiveMentor).
Active, hands-on additionality: they "proactively support our portfolio companies to help them achieve their impact mission and scale their positive impact."
