Welcome to The Impact Crowd!The Impact Crowd is an investment crowdfunding platform bringing investors together to champion businesses & entities aligned with Environmental, Social, & (corporate) Governance (ESG) & Impact Investing principles. ESG & Impact Investing refers to an investment philosophy where ethically conscious investors screen potential investment opportunities based on personal standards for a company's behavior. These standards may focus on companies that have the potential to create measurable positive changes in the world. So in a nutshell, we believe ethical investing & sustainability are achievable & are dedicated to crowdfunding with companies who do as well.ESG & Impact Investing is a substantial investment philosophy with the Global Impact Investment Network sizing the global impact investing market to $1.164 trillion as of October 2022 (Source: https://thegiin.org/research/publication/impact-investing-market-size-2022/). However just like many investment opportunities, the minimum investment amount for an investor can be prohibitive. But with recently introduced Regulation Crowdfunding laws & the creation of platforms like The Impact Crowd, many barriers to investing have been removed by allowing anyone over 18 to participate. Now with investments as little as $100, our crowdfunding platform offers the opportunity for individuals, who are willing to accept risks of loss & liquidity risk, to invest as much or as little as they feel comfortable.Our founder Jon Elias married his knowledge of environmental & social ethics with a pragmatic approach for solving complex issues to build a platform for investors who want to fund ESG & Impact conscious companies.You won't find greenwashing or deceptive impact marketing here. Instead, you'll find an array of ESG-focused crowdfunding opportunities searchable by intended impact categories throughout a wide range of industries & a group of like-minded investors who seek to make a difference.
