Case Study

Sonen Capital is Leading the Way in Creating a Data-Fueled Future for Impact Investing

“We’re already seeing billions of dollars move toward solving problems around sustainability, climate emissions, and equality, but without some accountability in the form of impact measurement, how do investors know what’s really worth investing in, and what just looks good on paper?”

- Will Morgan, Head of Impact at Sonen Capital

We wanted to be able to know that we were making an impact, and we wanted to be learning with grantees and the community.

Ultimately, our partnership with UpMetrics supports our grantees’ ongoing learning, which in turn enables them to share more meaningful information and insights with us in place of traditional reporting.

The ability to send metrics dashboards to investors without having to recreate them from scratch each time has been a game-changer.

The UpMetrics team has been instrumental in helping us make surveys that are consistent so that we can use them year over year without recreating. The time saved has allowed us to concentrate more on our work with our Fellows and stakeholders.

Some people think proving investment impact must be simple, but it’s not. If you’re going to make an intentional effort to create a specific change, it takes a thoughtful strategy coupled with robust impact reporting capabilities. UpMetrics has been a true partner in helping us simplify our impact data collection practices, and visualize our growing body of impact data - and thus measure the extent to which we’re achieving our intentions.

We use quantitative data a lot in presentations, but ultimately, what does it mean? It goes beyond the numbers. That's, for me, the big thing - the qualitative piece. I think when you couple that with other metrics, you begin to see the whole picture. We want to be able to tell our story in a more complete way.

If we didn't have access to UpMetrics, compiling and preparing our reporting would be significantly more burdensome. They have a great team and we are very happy with the platform.

UpMetrics helps us in a variety of ways from assessing the effectiveness of new initiatives, monitoring trends in our impact over time, and supports our fundraising efforts/reporting for funders. Without UpMetrics all of these things would be harder, and some of them we might not be able to do at all.
