ABOUT
impact investors
Disclaimer: No start-up buzzwords or grand claims of saving the planet.
Our mission is to empower change at the individual level and transforming the status quo through impact business consulting, social reframing, holistic education, and strengthening social & ecological impact businesses across Southeast Asia.
We’re replacing "or" with "and" in
-
‘positive impact’ and ‘wealth generation’
-
‘economy’ and ‘ecology.’
At Impact Investors, our vision is to seamlessly blend financial equity with the empowerment of social entrepreneurial opportunities. Our distinction lies in supporting for-profit entrepreneurs and organisations committed to driving radical social and environmental change.
How we do this?
At Impact Investors, we:
-
Consult and train individuals to form micro social enterprises with nature and cultural preservation at the core
-
Help non-profits transition into for-profit social enterprises, allowing them to generate wealth while continuing their impact
-
Empower individuals, from corporate professionals to those in rural areas, to embrace social entrepreneurship
-
Design and implement holistic solutions to complex socio-ecological challenges through community-driven entrepreneurship models
-
Support corporates and government institutions in fulfilling their CSR/ social and ecological responsibilities
-
Guide investors in supporting micro social enterprises committed to ground-level change with perseverance and dedication.
Our frameworks dismantle conventional investment models, creating a fair playing field for all. We also challenge traditional start-up advice, respecting the individuality and pace of each endeavour.
We invite you to be an Impact Investor. Invest whatever you can — love, energy, time, sweat, effort, passion, dedication, creativity, enthusiasm, commitment, resources, devotion, focus, determination, patience, expertise, or skills. Invest yourself. Be an Impact Investor.
“When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order.”
