Investor Accelerators & Clubs

Direct Investing Ecosystem - Investor Accelerators & Clubs

As we work to build the infrastructure for community members to be able to invest directly in the social ventures (nonprofits, startups, businesses, funds, cooperatives, hybrids, and more) they care about, Investor Clubs are a critical step forward. Building on the success of CO Impact Days and our growing network of Impact Investing Giving Circles (Accelerators), Investor Clubs are the next step in achieving Impact Finance Center’s vision of a Main Street 2.0.

Investor Clubs

• For investors ready to take the leap to invest directly into social ventures they care about, an Investor Club is a way to bring together ventures and investors in a targeted geography or interest area, share due diligence expenses, and more
• Must be an accredited investor to participate - IFC is not a broker and does not provide investment advice

Investor Accelerators / Impact Investing Giving Circles

• For asset owners new to impact investing, these accelerators are a low-risk, social, and fun entry into the world of direct investing
• Each member contributes to a pooled fund held at a Community Foundation then participates in 9-12 educational workshops then the group puts out a Call for Social Ventures to decide where to invest the pooled funds

Impact Finance Center is working to catalyze unprecedented investment into Main Street by creating the infrastructure for a National Impact Investing Marketplace.

Direct investing marketplaces like our Investor Clubs are a critical part of that infrastructure. Your support will help make it all possible!

Please note that IFC is not an investment advisor or broker - our investor clubs are for educational and networking purposes for investors to learn more about impact investing and what direct investing opportunities may be available in their areas of interest, identity, and place. IFC makes no investment recommendations or endorsements of investment opportunities or products. Consult your financial, legal, and/or tax professionals for how a particular investment may fit with your goals.
