Empowering investors to make a difference through Impact Investing
Impact Hub Berlin’s Impact Investor Community enables entrepreneurs to solve societal issues through the power of business.
These entrepreneurs understand the biggest social and environmental challenges of our time.
But see them also as opportunities.
And create innovative business models to help solve them.
Once the “first love” money is through and investment is required to grow, strong partnerships are needed.
The Impact Investor Community bridges a gap that many entrepreneurs in Germany face: the dreaded “Valley of Death”.
With the Impact Investor Community, we’re gathering a group of people ready not only to invest their money but to partner with entrepreneurs to jointly tackle the grand challenges of today and tomorrow.
This first edition of the Impact Investor Community is made possible by Bethmann Bank.
Pitch your startup
Our first virtual Investors Circle for EdTech and HealthTech startups took place on Thursday 27th August 2020 – the first in an event series powered by Bethmann Bank.
The next event is on Thursday 3rd December and is inviting ClimateTech and FoodTech startups to apply to pitch before Wednesday 4th November.
We're looking for investors
We welcome venture capitalists, small business investment companies and family investment organisations, as well as individual, angel and informal investors.
