Top Tier Impact (TTI) is the network of investors, entrepreneurs and corporates focused on solving the critical issues of our time.
The TTI ecosystem spans across TTI's private network, TTI’s investment banking activities across emerging markets to support growth-stage regenerative businesses and smart infrastructure projects, TTI's investment gatherings around the world, TTI's climate policy forums, and our first climate tech startup spinoff.
Together, our mission is to accelerate the mainstream adoption of impact and sustainability.
We are 600+ members building a new paradigm across more than 50 countries.
“TTIers” oversee some of the leading impact funds and run some of the most impactful companies. Many are based across our main hubs (London, New York, San Francisco, Berlin, Singapore) and others are all around the world.
Beyond our private community, we believe in advancing thought leadership in the impact space. Each month, TTI reaches hundreds of thousands of professionals in impact and sustainability.

What members say about TTI’s network & events
"Thanks to a TTI Introduction, I was able to connect with Kristina Anguelova from WWF and get hired for an amazing project in sustainable banking. Through this experience, I have had the chance to collaborate with diverse and passionate individuals who understand the critical integration of environmental and social principles in banks worldwide. TTI its been a vibrant global ecosystem, rich with connections, opportunities, partnerships, and a powerful network, further enhances its inherent value."
Rosana Gomez, Sustainable Banking at WWF
“Meeting one of our investors thanks to a TTI event was a turning point for our company. Abeer Nijmeh from AngelSpark, an institutional investor backed by UAE industry leaders, saw the potential in Plain Tiger. We were invited to their Women's Day pitch night, exclusively for startups with at least one female founder. This led to us securing an investment from AngelSpark as part of our $1.5m seed round.”
Oliver Baillie, CEO & Co-Founder at Plain Tiger
