Impact Engine is a Public Benefit Corporation that evolved from a Chicago accelerator into an institutional impact asset manager with hundreds of millions in AUM, operating both direct investing and a funds fund program that allocates capital to external impact managers globally. The women-led and BIPOC-led firm requires each portfolio company to have a bespoke impact thesis aligned to economic opportunity, environmental sustainability, or health equity, and is known for proprietary impact frameworks that help distinguish impact-intentional from impact-aligned strategies.
