A Living Resource, built together: Introducing the IV Hub Playbook
When we started work on the Playbook, our aim was to create something practical, something that would help investors move from intention to action when it comes to impact valuation.
It has been designed to provide practical help for investors looking to apply impact valuation across portfolio decisions. Bringing together common elements of leading approaches into a step-by-step guide, it’s the newest tool in the impact valuation toolkit.
Impact valuation itself is still evolving. That’s why we’ve approached the Playbook as something that will keep improving too. It’s a resource to come back to, one that grows as more investors share what they’re trying, where they’re stuck, and what’s worked in practice.
This resource reflects what makes the IV Hub different: it’s been developed through collaboration and a lot of iteration. The process has brought together our founding partners - investor partners, knowledge partners and ecosystem partners, all contributing their experiences and reflections on what’s useful in practice.
We’ve deliberately built on established best practice, but kept our focus on how things are being applied in decision making contexts that investors face everyday. Rather than introduce a new methodology, the Playbook aligns common elements from leading approaches into actionable steps., supported by case studies from those already testing these approaches. This means that readers of the Playbook can rely on its ever evolving contents to bring them the latest in authentic, tested impact valuation practice.
Our core message throughout the Playbook is simple: just start. Don’t wait for the perfect moment or the perfect model. Begin with what you have, learn as you go, and share what you discover.
We invite you to explore the IV Hub Playbook and join the growing community of investors putting impact valuation into practice. Together, we can turn intention into action—and action into impact.
