Impact Maker

What Impact Maker does

Impact Maker, operating under the German-registered legal entity Decade of Action, is a dual marketplace platform founded in 2024 that connects businesses with vetted sustainability, climate, energy transition, and AI experts. Headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany with US operations in Miami, the platform serves SMEs, large corporations, and startups across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. The company is operated by a small global remote team (1-10 employees) and led by founder Lars Friedrich, who brings 15 years of experience in consulting and tech firms focused on sustainability.

The platform is structured around three interconnected core offerings: a Talent Marketplace connecting clients with 65+ verified specialists and 285+ discoverable talent profiles; a Service Marketplace offering fixed-price sustainability and AI advisory services ranging from €344 to €6,450; and Impact Maker Academy providing certified courses and masterclasses in CSRD, IFRS Sustainability, GHG Accounting, and Double Materiality. Underlying technology centers on an AI-powered expert matching engine complemented by a suite of AI modules covering content generation (copy, video, visuals), predictive forecasting, lead scoring, voice chatbots, risk detection, and a recently launched Free AI Readiness Assessment tool that scans company websites and produces board-ready automation reports in approximately 8 minutes.

Impact Maker generates revenue through three primary streams: a 20% flat commission on all talent marketplace transactions (talents retain 80%), fixed-price service fees in the Service Marketplace, and course fees from Academy enrollments. Go-to-market is primarily digital, combining content marketing, SEO and proprietary Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), community engagement via the IM Movement forum, referral programs, and strategic partnerships. The company has no disclosed external funding and operates as a privately held non-profit entity.
