Proof of Impact is an Amsterdam-based, blockchain-powered marketplace founded in 2017 by Fleur Heyns that enables donors and impact investors to donate or invest directly into measurable impact outcomes. The platform allows impact implementers (NGOs, companies and initiatives) to deliver verifiable impact events at an individual level and sell them directly to buyers. All verified impact events are mapped to the relevant United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The company aims to securitize proven impact and offer liquid impact investment products and portfolios supported by blockchain technology to mobilize diversified capital. Proof of Impact intends to use the new funding to continue its growth trajectory and execute its securitization strategy to bring proven-impact products to global capital markets. The POI marketplace was scheduled to launch in the Netherlands in Q1 2020.
