An exit is not the only way of demonstrating impact on an investee business, and this impact can reach beyond the business…
The Most Impactful Investment award, which recognises the impact of the investment provider on an investee business by focusing on how funding has been deployed and growth or improvement has been enabled during the investment term. Assessed in context of type of investment, targets, timeframes and what has been achieved to date, a panel of judges will base their scoring on entry questions related to Performance, Deployment of funds, Value beyond investment & Social impact.
