MONITORING & EVALUATION

Seedstars' impact is derived from activities undertaken internally by its teams, as well as activities these teams undertake with entrepreneurs in emerging markets. It's Theory of Change (TOC) shows the combined contribution of these impact pathways towards the ultimate intended impact of the organization: "Seedstars contribute to economic development in emerging markets". The TOC is the backbone of Seedstars' Performance Monitoring Framework to assess its intended impact.

With this, after each event it will be shared with Catalyst the status of the metric of the activity. Together with this, proper adjustments will be made in order to optimize the metrics for the following events. At the end of the year of activities, a report will be made Catalyst x Seedstars x Latin America where it will showcase all the impact and main takeaways from the activities in each ecosystem.
