How It Works

Our Impact Investor Challenges (IICs) are comprehensive, multi-week programs for both accredited and unaccredited investors seeking to:

This includes:

  • Start and/or expand their investing journey
  • Develop their impact investing thesis
  • Invest in purpose-driven companies
  • Meet like-minded new and experienced investors
  • Connect with socially and environmentally-focused startup founders

Spring offers our IICs across different themes and geographies to diversify the impact investing ecosystem and fuel sustainable solutions to pressing global challenges.

We facilitate a cohort of impact-curious investors along with a cohort of impact founders to navigate the fundraising process together. Activities include weekly learning sessions that include interacting with founders, group due diligence and networking events. 

Companies are short-listed into finalists, from which the investor cohort chooses one company to receive their collective investment.

The program has elevated my confidence and competence as an impact investor by allowing me to execute my thesis in a way that I couldn’t have imagined two years ago.
