1. SOCIAL SECTOR ORGANIZATIONS Application & Impact Measurement (M&E) PLATFORM “Measure what Matters”
2. 2 SoPact – Our Mission SoPact is the result of a powerful social vision and personal journey. During the founder’s (Unmesh Sheth) childhood in India, he experienced firsthand many difficult social issues (e.g. health, education, poverty), along with lack of communication, transparency, social innovation and sector collaboration. Unmesh felt that social change was difficult due to lack of efficient systems, data measurement and sharing - and that this is a global problem. In 2013, Unmesh decided to create social change through an innovative and comprehensive platform - SoPact - for measuring & managing financial + social impact. SoPact’s goal is to better support the social sector which transform the lives of our businesses, investors and beneficiaries.
