Empowering investors to make a difference through Impact Investing
Impact Hub Berlin’s Impact Investor Community enables entrepreneurs to tackle problems 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.
However, once a venture’s “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.
The Impact Investor Community is made possible by Bethmann Bank.
