How Rapid Feedback Loops Could Benefit Impact Investors

Impact investors often face significant challenges when it comes to gathering meaningful data to inform their investment decisions and strategies. Traditional research methods can be expensive, time-intensive, and highly technical. Outsourced data collection partners charge high fees, and deep partnerships with local organizations, extensive fieldwork, or cost-intensive solutions like Randomized Control Trials (RCTs) are often required. Even then, the data collected may not always provide the granular, community-level insights needed to truly understand the needs, preferences, and behaviors of target populations. As a result, impact investors often struggle to make informed, data-driven decisions that maximize their social and financial returns.
