Impact Venture
Impact Venture operates as a London-based multi-family office. Douglas Sloan serves as managing director and co-founded the ImpactVC network. The firm was established to pursue investments that combine financial returns with measurable impact outcomes. The office targets pre-seed through Series G rounds in Digital Health, AgriTech & FoodTech, ClimateTech, Energy Transition & Renewables, FinTech, Mobility & Transportation, and Robotics & Automation. It structures commitments via direct co-investments, SPVs, and alternative VC models. Confirmed positions include Shiok Meats, where it co-invested alongside Agronomics, and NOWOS, where it participated with Shift4Good. Activity spans Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East & Central Asia, North America, and South America. No recent operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The firm holds membership in the BVCA and maintains the ImpactVC professional network. It lists no additional offices beyond its London headquarters. The office maintains a hybrid structure that combines family-office capital with participation in external impact-focused syndicates, allowing it to bridge traditional venture allocations and mission-related deployment without operating a dedicated fund vehicle.
