Our New Vision and Pricing Structure
Last year, my partners in Unit of Impact, Oliver Russell and Unity Web Agency, both stepped away from the business. It’s prompted me to reflect on our startup journey and share it with you, as well as to announce some exciting new changes that provide a ladder up to everyone on the platform.
Looking back, I’m incredibly proud of what my friends and co-founders Alisa Hutchinson (of the former Unity Web Agency) and Russ Stoddard (of Oliver Russell) and I were able to achieve with the core aspects of our mission:
- 98% of companies on the platform created their impact report for the very first time. A few of them really caught the bug and decided to expand their impact report the following year to a much bigger publication.
- 25% of companies are in their second or third year of publishing their impact report on the platform. With support and education, they are on the roll.
- 32% are solopreneurs who might be small but mighty, challenging the notion that only large companies can make a big difference in the world of impact.
- 59% of companies on the platform are women-owned, proving once again that women start small businesses at a greater rate, are more naturally inclined toward impact, and with the right resources are unstoppable.
Solopreneur Once More
My business RoundPeg is now the 100% owner of the company. I’ve had to adjust to the reality of doing the same work without my trusted partners. It hasn’t been easy or fun. I’ve missed our weekly meetings and brainstorming. The work of three became the work of one doing the work of three. Luckily, the systems we built were set up to be resilient and the platform runs well with minimal management.
Impact Reporting for All
I’m recognizing that integrating AI into the platform will not only be a necessity, but also create benefits for our users. With the right team and investment, this platform can become a truly powerful tool for the $16.2 trillion small business community. At this crossroads, I’ve returned to our original goals, guided by our values, and will continue to bootstrap this MVP platform to become even more accessible for all and remain a social enterprise.
As RoundPeg continues to manage and invest in Unit of Impact, I’m making changes that align with these goals. This starts by significantly lowering pricing to make it even more accessible for all social enterprises, no matter their size. It is our response to the uncertainty small business community is facing now.
- We’re offering a NEW entry-level ESSENTIAL tier, with access to one starter template, that will cost just $24 per month, or only $290 per year.

You can review these new tiers, along with all their benefits, here.
Turn Your Impact Report Into an Opportunity – Not a “To-Do”
And by all means PLEASE tell other businesses and organizations that will benefit from our impact reporting platform at these more accessible prices.
If you or someone you know would like to see examples of impact reports produced on our platform, we have plenty to share – including our own.
One of the absolute favorite parts of my job is to work with a company on its annual reports, be it their first report or their latest in a long line of reports. Helping you think strategically about your report and how to best communicate your impact is when I feel like I’m actually making a difference. This will not change. I invite you to get in touch, and let’s talk about your company’s impact report this year. Now, more than ever, the world needs to hear the story of the positive change you are making.
