Our mission will bridge the gap between impact-focused investors and enablers, we accelerate collective solutions to drive innovation and regeneration in Asia.
Since 2022, Impact Link has assisted nearly a hundred emerging impact-led entrepreneurs and SMEs in their journey by enhancing their organizational development capabilities. Its flagship tool, the "Mission Capacity Assessment," allows these entrepreneurs to self-evaluate their mission capacity and identify areas for improvement. Impact Link also offers thematic training programs and various advisory services to help them develop and implement effective capacity-building action plans and solutions.
Impact Story
Impact investors have shown great interest in the ASEAN region, particularly Vietnam. However, impact enterprises often lack the fundamental features necessary to scale their impact and business models, which hinders investor confidence. As they are still in the early stages of development, these impact enterprises need to improve their business models, enhance organizational capacity, and strengthen their impact measurement and management (IMM) skills to attract more capital.
Recognising this ‘talent gap’ in the social impact ecosystem in Asia, Impact Link was founded to bridge this gap by providing impact assessment and capacity building training. Our desired results? A stronger, more close-knit, and resilient social impact ecosystem, more adaptable impact enterprises, and more accountable impact delivery.
To achieve our vision, we launched our unique flagship Mission Capacity Assessment (MCA), a practical toolkit designed to help early-stage impact enterprises assess their operational maturity, clarify their impact pathways, and strengthen internal systems. The MCA toolkit is innovative in both its flexible approach and measurable methodology. It uniquely blends qualitative insights with a comparative quantitative scoring system.
Since launch, the MCA has supported nearly a hundred impact enterprises across diverse sectors—from clean energy to health, education, and inclusive tourism. Our impact enterprises work to address diverse challenges, from climate adaptation to social inclusion. Thus, by supporting these enterprises, we indirectly impact thousands of vulnerable beneficiaries and contribute to community resilience.
The MCA also benefits impact investors, as it offers “health diagnostics" of impact enterprises that they are investing in. Funders like Tara Foundation have used the MCA to evaluate its granted portfolio. MCA results enabled tailored training workshops, impact reports, and recommendations to boost transparency and investor confidence.
