<p>London-based <a href="http://www.clearlyso.com/" target="_blank">ClearlySo</a> is an investment banking firm that helps social enterprises raise capital from impact investors, those who seek a social impact along with a financial return. Last week, <a href="http://facebook.com/clearlyso" target="_blank">ClearlySo</a> announced a new impact measurement service for private equity and venture capital funds.</p>
<p>Founder and CEO, Rodney Schwartz, is excited about the new product, which he says will make impact reporting easier. He says, “We launched our impact assessment tool, which, for the first time, specifically addresses the needs of PE/VC firms to measure and report on the impact of their privately held portfolio companies. It does so in a way that is portal-based, efficient, robust, easy-to-use, inexpensive and requires no lengthy questionnaires to be filled out by fund managers or investees.”</p>
