Partnership opportunities

I can offer connections to the Latin America social impact ecosystem, thousands of actors that are changing through innovation, millions of lives, and knowledge to key actors of the incubation /acceleration, and impact funding ecosystem”

Innpactia is a mixture between two marketplaces —one of social and environmental impact initiatives in LatAm (for profit and nonprofit) and another of experts and consultants that have the know-how around these topics— that are tied to a platform where investors and founders can create & manage impact investment mechanisms. Through this multi-sided platform we bring together thousands of social entrepreneurs, non-profits, experts, coaches, impact investors and international cooperation agencies to work more agile and impactful initiatives. Our platform facilitates deal flows for impact investors and philanthropists and helps them to easily manage their portfolios, while helping impact initiatives find the right financial & expertise partners to get started.

In 2022, we are strengthening our Fintech component, so funds can be directly managed and distributed using our payments and monitoring platform. One key reason for us joining the program is to find good strategic partners and investors to grow in fintech and artificial intelligence, so we can scale our growth to Africa and Asia. 

Towards the future: we can also offer cooperation opportunities using innpactia’s data to carry out research on the Latam impact ecosystem. Finally, we promote co-investing mechanisms to address key challenges for the world and the poor, we love helping investors find other co-investors and build their investment pipeline around such mechanisms. Also, we are looking for more clients in the US.
