Acumen Fund is seeking a partner(s) to market, implement, and support the Pulse software system, a flexible social metrics tool built to integrate with the Impact and Investment Standards (IRIS) (www.iris-standards.org).  Pulse and IRIS are supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, B-Lab, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, Skoll Foundation, Salesforce.com Foundation, Kellogg Foundation, Lodestar Foundation, and others.   The Pulse tool, originally developed in partnership with engineers from Google, has recently been re-built as a  Salesforce.com application that is being piloted by a select group of social investors and grant makers.  We anticipate a full launch of the application this Fall, and there are over 50 institutions that have seen and tested the system.    Acumen’s partner(s) will be in a unique position to be a first mover in the field of social and impact investing with the support of leading institutions and companies.

The ideal partner(s) will be equipped to build upon nearly three years of work by Acumen Fund to help bring Pulse to the next level of becoming a sustainable, evolving industry standard tool to measure and track social impact.

Please contact Brad Presner at bpresner@acumenfund.org for more information and to request a copy of the RFP.
