About Sela
Sela is the first end-to-end solution that manages the impact lifecycle using AI and blockchain. Sela’s enterprise SaaS platform provides a toolkit to manage, monitor, and measure impact lifecycle performance.
Private capital is forming at a rapid rate to solve systemic challenges, such as climate change, public infrastructure gaps, and income inequality. Global impact investment AUM has grown from $35.5 billion (2015) to $502 billion (2018) amongst 1,340 organizations. New financial instruments, including Development & Social Impact Bonds, are also being designed and deployed. This accumulation of capital needs accounting and measuring tools that factor social and environmental value while ensuring trusted collaboration among a diverse set of stakeholders.
