IMPACTLAKE Co., Ltd. (Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Reona Sekino) and Real Tech Holdings Co., Ltd. (Location: Sumida-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Yukihiro Maru, Akihiko Nagata) are pleased to announce the commencement of a collaboration aimed at further strengthening and advancing impact investment.

Partnership Background

In the midst of the irreversible trend of impact investing, Real Tech Holdings has been at the forefront. Since 2021, the company pioneered Japan’s first impact investment fund in the deep tech sector, dedicating efforts to maximize the economic and societal value of numerous startups.

IMPACTLAKE, supporting impact management for institutional investors’ decisions, and Real Tech Holdings have started collaborating to enhance support for impact startups. We aim to strengthen and advance assistance for these startups even further.

Details of the Partnership

By combining Real Tech Holdings’ track record and expertise in the deep tech impact investment field with IMPACTLAKE’s practical impact management tools and their application methods, we aim to strengthen support for impact startups.

This involves setting up structures and processes in startups to manage impact, organizing and measuring their strengths tied to impact, and helping with external communication to investors, like crafting equity stories.

Practical assistance, including impact measurement and management (IMM), has already begun for some of the Real Tech Fund’s portfolio companies. In addition, their impact report will be published as an external outcome in early 2024.

Through this collaboration, we will establish and evolve an impact-based corporate valuation framework and maximize the economic and social value of the recipients of our support, thereby creating impact-IPOs from the portfolio companies of the Real Tech Fund and promoting initiatives that will contribute to the revitalization of the overall market and the establishment of standards.

IMPACTLAKE Co. Ltd. has released beta version of impactlake™, a full-stack Impact Measurement & Management (IMM) tool, effective October 1, 2022.

ESG initiatives are at the top of the agenda for businesses and companies to create more added value and enhance their significance in society. In addition, as the relationship between ESG and corporate value is being proven from various perspectives, the importance of social impact, especially as a positive aspect, is increasing.

On the other hand, it is also true that there are still challenges in terms of the appropriate assessment and management of social impact, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and IMPACTLAKE has been providing various services to help institutional investors, business companies, and other impact generators overcome these hurdles. IMPACTLAKE has been providing a variety of services to help institutional investors, business companies, and other impact generators overcome such hurdles. As such activities are expected to expand further in the future, IMPACTLAKE has developed this tool to help those who create impact to accumulate such know-how and information and to further improve their understanding and awareness of impact creation, rather than seeking such know-how and information externally.

In this beta release, we are mainly opening up the following functions for enterprises and investors to contribute to their own social impact management.

• Impact Dashboard
• Logic Model Building
• Impact evaluation and quantification
• Collection and management of internal and external impact-related indicators
• Simple disclosure, etc.

In addition, the first 10 companies (organizations) to register will receive a trial plan that includes consulting services, such as support for the introduction of the system. If you are interested, please contact us for more information.
