It has been a busy summer here at the Acumen Fund New York office, where we’ve been working hard to implement website and blog changes that make it easier for our community to access data on and insights from our work.
On the website, it’s now possible to view metrics reported by many of our investees. These investment metrics are fed directly from our Portfolio Data Management System. We are not able to share all the available data, and some of our new investments are still in the process of collecting data, but we are committed to sharing as much information as we can, as often as we can – and this is a step in that direction.
If you are reading this at acumenfundblog.org, then you’ve already noticed the wholesale redesign we’ve given the site. If you’re reading via RSS, e-mail or other syndication, consider clicking through and visiting our newly redesigned blog. We’ve completely overhauled the Acumen Fund blog, changing everything from the aesthetics to the way content can be saved and shared. You can also easily subscribe to the blog feed, view videos sourced from our YouTube channel and even suggest a story for us to write about on the blog.
These updates were made with our community in mind. Earlier this year, we asked for your feedback via an online survey and the overwhelming theme of your feedback was, “we want more!” Hopefully, by sharing investment metrics and upgrading our blog, we’ve taken a step in the right direction. As always, we welcome your comments and feedback on the new features – let us know what you think by submitting a comment, suggesting a story or simply e-mailing us. Thank you for being part of this community and helping us change how the world tackles poverty.
