ILF readiness bootcamps

Strengthen your impact measurement & management

Fill your IMM gaps with our group-based bootcamps!

The ILF Readiness Bootcamps are structured, group-based sessions designed to support German impact enterprises in strengthening their Impact Measurement and Management (IMM) systems in preparation for engaging with Impact-Linked Finance (ILF). The bootcamps are modular by design: each session addresses common and distinct gaps in IMM practice (such as unclear impact logic or weak KPIs) and can be attended as a standalone learning unit, based on recommendations from the prior ILF Potential Analysis. At the same time, the sessions are sequenced to build on one another, allowing participants with limited prior experience in IMM to progress step by step from foundational concepts to more advanced applications.

Overall, the bootcamps enable enterprises to credibly define, measure, and manage impact in a way that sets a great foundation for our 1:1 Coaching and for Impact-Linked-Finance in general. Yet before you can access our additional offerings, you’ll need to have your ILF POTENTIAL ANALYSIS DONE IN TIME!

What you can expect from our bootcamps

What you'll get

What's the structure and timeline?

Our bootcamps encompass 6 modules in total, out of which we’ll recommend specific ones, based on the individual results of your personal ILF Potential Analysis.

Depending on the number of modules you participate in, the overall duration is around 2 weeks. We plan to offer the bootcamps every quarter, with the first iteration scheduled for mid-March 2026. IT IS IMPORTANT TO SUBMIT YOUR ILF POTENTIAL ANALYSIS FORM WELL IN ADVANCE. THIS IS A PRECONDITION FOR PARTICIPATING IN OUR BOOTCAMPS.

What will I have by the end?

By the end of the bootcamp, participants typically have:

Tools and guidance to develop a clear Impact Statement articulating intended social and/or environmental change.
A simplified impact logic or strategy explaining how the business creates impact.
This includes building an understanding of how to craft a small, prioritized set of robust impact KPIs, which will support greater confidence and capability to communicate your impact to investors.

How do the bootcamps connect to the other offerings?

The bootcamps are the central bridge within the overall “Ready for Impact-Linked Finance” pathway:

Before the bootcamps: Enterprises typically go through the ILF Potential Analysis, which assesses IMM maturity and determines their readiness for the bootcamp.

After the bootcamps: Enterprises with a sufficiently robust IMM system and concrete financing needs can progress into the 1:1 ILF Preparation Coaching.

In short, the bootcamps ensure that you don’t jump prematurely into the 1:1 ILF Preparation Coaching, but instead build the strategic and measurement foundations required for credible, investor-ready Impact-Linked Finance.
