Change the world by making every business an impact business.

Learn How to Invest and Amplify Your Positive Impact

The Impact Investor Challenge is a 10-week, online training program that empowers impact investors to invest in purpose-driven businesses that align with their values and target returns.

As we seek to diversify the impact investing ecosystem and drive sustainable solutions to global challenges, we have designed this program to serve both accredited investors as well as non-accredited investors and individuals seeking to make a difference through the power of impact capital.

This program may be for you if:

You want to learn about impact investing
You are seeking to make an investment into an impact venture and gain exposure to purpose-driven companies
You are looking for ways to support innovation
You want to learn how you can leverage your capital to support your community

As a part of our Impact Investor Challenge’s investor cohort, you will gain insights, build your network, and acquire resources to become successful at impact investing.

At the end of the program, participating investors will collectively award $100,000 in investments to their top chosen company from the entrepreneur cohort which runs in parallel.

The Impact Challenge will leave you with a network of impact investors, key figures in the national impact investing community, and emerging mission-driven companies.

What You Will Learn

The quality of the companies, speakers, and participants was high and made it very worthwhile to do. The Spring Impact Investor Challenge was a great program to connect with other investors and go through a whole process of screening, due diligence, selection and closing on an angel investment. Highly recommended whether you are a beginning investor or already have more experience.

The Impact Investor Challenge provided me with a lens through which to view investing on a more holistic level. As someone coming into the program with minimal investment experience, I left feeling more confident in evaluating companies for both growth potential and alignment with my values. This program attracted an amazing cohort of investors along with dedicated teachers and knowledgeable guest speakers. Would recommend to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of impact investment.

I can't wait to continue following the companies and find opportunities with them in the future. It's been such a learning experience figuring out my impact investor thesis, how to conduct due diligence and figuring out how to balance impact and profit. Time flies when you are having fun (especially during a pandemic)!
