Impacta

What Impacta does

Impacta is a Santiago, Chile-based boutique consulting firm founded in 2015 that specializes exclusively in social impact measurement and evaluation. The firm serves foundations, corporate CSR programs, NGOs, government entities, and social entrepreneurs — helping them move from intuition-based program management to evidence-based decision making through methodologies such as Theory of Change development, indicator design, qualitative and quantitative data collection, and counterfactual impact evaluation. Approximately 80% of its work is concentrated on impact evaluation, with the remainder split across training/capacity-building and strategic advisory.

The firm's core technology consists of proprietary methodological frameworks rather than a software product: a 5-stage Impact Management Cycle (Plan–Measure–Learn–Adjust–Communicate), a 7-Capacity Impact Assessment Model, and a Theory of Change development methodology. These frameworks are operationalized through human consultant labor, supported by a freemium online Impact Management Diagnostic that generates leads. A multilingual multidisciplinary team — including economists from Universidad de Chile, psychologists from PUC, engineers from PUC, and staff with graduate degrees from Columbia University and Durham University UK — delivers the engagements.

Impacta generates revenue through professional services fees on a quote-based, project-by-project basis. Go-to-market is relationship-driven, combining direct outreach, network referrals within the Chilean social sector, and content marketing via a blog on impact-measurement topics. The firm reports a cumulative portfolio of 210 evaluated programs across 102 organizations and 50+ training engagements since inception, with a customer base spanning the Cámara Chilena de la Construcción ecosystem, Antofagasta Minerals, Fundación Chile, Fundación Mustakis, Ministerio de Economía, and Universidad O'Higgins among others. Impacta is privately held with no disclosed external funding or parent company.
