Our Story

Unit Co. was started by three small businesses — Certified B Corps all — who were looking for a user-friendly product to help them measure and report their social impact.
When they couldn't find a solution in the marketplace, they decided to build it themselves. The result is Unit of Impact, the first impact report platform designed especially for small business.
Unit Co. is a woman majority-owned, public benefit corporation headquartered in Maryland, with satellite offices in North Carolina and Idaho.
