- Shaper Impact Capital is an impact investor newsletter, a grassroots network that connects vetted social enterprises and social impact startups, with institutional impact investors and angels, globally. - Impact investment is becoming increasingly important in the mainstream and we have the opportunity to lead this trend globally. However, there is a critical cross-border mismatch in where dollars are available and where they are needed as capital and investors stay within their own networks and ecosystems. We fix that, helping to guide capital where it is needed the most. - Shaper Impact Capital comprises of Shapers in and outside the VC industry who help to source, vet and feature startups with an impact, and sends it to a mailing list of impact investors. - Shaper Impact Capital is not a broker nor does it take any form of compensation. We are a newsletter that investors can receive news about exciting companies making an impact that are fundraising. Experienced Shaper VCs from firms such as Leapfrog and Endeavor have been part of the SIC team from the onset, advising on the best way to structure and execute the project. Chia, who leads this initiative belongs to Antler, a fund which is chaired by the ex-Chairman of McKinsey.

- In 5 years time, we aim to have representation of 1-2 Shapers in every country in the world, helping to find and feature under-appreciated startups having an impact, to the rest of the world.

- We are here to solve problems for the social impact space.

We hope to improve the community by: - Creating easier access to capital for social enterprises and social impact startups - Activating the Global Shaper Network of Impact Investors and social-oriented angels UN SDG Goals: #17 Shaper Impact Capital represents a grassroots partnership that is looking to build inter-national ties between capital and startups making an impact on the communities around them, built and run by Shapers in and outside the venture capital industry.
