About us

Impact Investment Group (IIG) is a leading Australian impact investment funds manager.

We source and develop investments across three asset classes: venture capital, real estate and renewable infrastructure. Our investments are designed to generate social and environmental value, as well as deliver excellent financial returns for our investors.

We have over $750 million in assets under management and are growing every day.

Venture Capital Division (Giant Leap)

Giant Leap is the first fund within our Venture Capital Division and the first 100% impact venture capital fund in Australia. Our mission is to enable the growth of rapidly scalable, early stage businesses that fuse profit and purpose to prove the power of mission driven businesses.

We aim to generate investor returns that outperform traditional early stage investing. We are inspired by investment firms such as Kapor Capital, Collaborative Fund, Spero VC, 50 Years, Obvious Ventures and Tin Shed Ventures.

Here is some recent press on the Giant Leap Fund reaching final close with $15m in capital.
