Willemijn Verloop featured in the Impact Benchmark Report by Giant Leap
🌍 Impact thrives on global exchange. We’re happy to see Willemijn Verloop featured in the 2025 Impact Benchmark Report by Giant Leap, one of Australia’s leading impact VC funds.
This impact report is a rich source of inspiration with over 2,800 deals reviewed, in-depth analysis of Climate, Health and People, and a growing international lens, it brings rare clarity on where impact capital is heading — and where it’s still urgently needed.
In her interview, Willemijn shares a European perspective and highlights three systemic shifts:
• Capital remains concentrated in Western tech, while emerging markets with high impact potential are still underserved.
• Impact is often confused with ESG, but real impact means setting intentional, measurable goals — and embedding them into the business model.
• Social solutions still lag behind climate in funding, while a Just Transition is essential for a faster and fairer path to Net Zero.
🙏 Thanks to the Giant Leap team for inviting us to contribute to their impressive report.
Fun fact: our Ozzie colleague Charlie Macdonald spent five years at Giant Leap before joining Rubio. Some bridges really do span continents. đź’š
