Introducing The Impact Platform: Future of Investment Operations

Data-driven operations, leading domain experts, investment experience, and support structure for a new era of investment operations.


Based on Katapult's history our mission is to never compromise on purpose and profit. This is achieved by tailoring new approaches to venture capital and impact investing.

Going forward there is no way around applying AI for investment operations and doubling down on domain expertise. This commitment has led to the creation of The Impact Platform (TIP).


The vision behind TIP

TIP grew out of Katapult’s eight years of experience in early-stage investing, acceleration programs, and the pioneering work of Northstar Impact Analytics. We’ve taken the lessons learned from operating eight investment vehicles, accelerating 180+ companies, and being early investors in unicorns, to create a robust, agile platform that addresses the real-world challenges of managing investment funds.

The future of early-stage investing is in the hands of AI and deep expert-driven investment vehicles.


We believe the timing is now for:

1. AI-Enhanced Investment Support

Leveraging Katapult’s Northstar technology suite, TIP integrates AI-driven tools for:

  • Deal flow screening and analysis, portfolio monitoring, and processing thousands of investment opportunities annually
  • Always ready to apply the latest AI technology of relevance.
  • Running the leanest and most precise investment operations possible.

This technology enables investment managers to apply their strategic and deep expertise insights, supporting the portfolio with cutting edge tools, and make better decisions.

2. Teaming up with real domain expertise.

In a fast-changing world, knowledge moves fast. Therefore TIP is based on partnership with exceptional thought leaders. TIP provides professional-grade investment setting up domain experts with lean operations and efficient capital deployment.

3. System change approach and rigorous due dilligence.

GenAI has proven to be the transformational and sweeping force required to adjust both investment operations and investment decisions. The time for generalist tech VCs is over. Being able to adapt fast, apply the best analytical tools for disruption analysis and platform shifts are required.

We believe in-depth analysis of domain systems is required to identify deals and companies that will be the future winners and drive the investment and impact alpha.

To tackle that we team up with the experts of the industries we invest in and apply their world-leading lenses in understanding the tectonics shifts of today, and how they produce the landscape of tomorrow.


4. Portfolio Support Program

Based on long-term experience with accelerator programs we support every portfolio company with a 90-day intensive support program divided into three main modules:

Impact Module: Companies receive guidance on impact assessment, strategy, and reporting, leveraging Katapult’s expertise in impact investing.

Growth Acceleration Module: Tools and strategies for achieving product-market fit, sales operations integration, and AI-driven growth strategies are provided.

Investment Readiness Module: Companies are equipped with frameworks and strategies for future fundraising, including investor mapping and pitch preparation.

Additionally, portfolio companies gain access to our global mentor network, partnerships with industry leaders, and guidance from an expert advisory board..

5. Comprehensive Portfolio Support Program

Running an investment vehicle involves many moving parts and rigid administration. From regulatory compliance to investor reporting and setting up for successful exits. TIP provides a full suite of operational support services, including:

  • Investment process management
  • Templates, term sheets, and frameworks for compliance and reporting
  • Fund administration and portfolio follow-up
  • Exit preparation and support

This ensures that investment managers can focus on expert value creation while leaving the admin of day-to-day operations to TIP’s proven systems.
