Whether they serve social or environmental purposes (or both), are for profit or not for profit, enterprise, business, organisation, impact investment fund or development project, early stage or established, Nexii’s stage appropriate capital market platforms provide the right solution for all high impact initiatives keen to access capital to scale effectively and in their own way.
High impact initiatives typically benefit large numbers of people in their local markets and contribute to sustainable solutions to our 21st Century challenges. They are scalable and replicable, with the potential to provide financial returns on investment and economic and social opportunities to millions. Yet they have difficulty in accessing appropriate impact capital finance to expand and reach their potential. Nexii bridges the gap by enabling these initiatives to gain visibility and access to the impact capital markets.
Primacy of social / environmental purpose and intent. A specific and clearly stated positive social or environmental mission as the primary reason for its existence.
Clear purpose or “Theory of Change” Purpose and intent must be articulated in a Theory of Change that forms the basis for performance assessment and indicators to demonstrate output, outcomes and social and/or environmental impact.
Impact performance measurement and monitoring systems and reports. Systems must be in place along with a commitment to the ongoing monitoring and evaluation of impact performance and reporting using clearly defined indicators. Published Impact Reports are also a requirement.
A sustainable business model and a market orientation. Strategy can be impact-first, finance-first or a combination thereof. Accordingly, a high impact business does not need to be profitable to be admitted, but must demonstrate a market-based approach to its operations.
Commitment to achieving impact. A Nominated Impact Advisor and an Impact Performance Director (or person in an equivalent role) must be appointed.
