Why Sustainable Fintech?
According to McKinsey, $5-$7 trillion is needed to be invested annually in order for the globe to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. We need to make a start, NOW.
Sustainable Fintech combines financial technology and sustainability. It involves the development and use of innovative financial technologies to promote sustainable development and address social, environmental and governance challenges. With the rise of technology, Fintech startups are changing the face of finance, and sustainable fintech startups are leading the charge towards a greener, more equitable future.
Investing in sustainable fintech startups can be a great way to support the transition towards a more sustainable economy while generating financial returns. But why should you invest in a sustainable fintech fund specifically? Here are some reasons:
Diversification
Diversification helps to reduce risk. Sustainable fintech startups are typically early-stage companies that are highly volatile, meaning that investing in one company alone can be risky. However, investing in a fund that has a portfolio of sustainable fintech startups diversifies the investment and mitigates risk. By investing in a fund, investors can spread their money across multiple companies and reduce the risk of losing all their investment if one of the startups fails.
Access to Exclusive Opportunities
Investing in the Sustainable Fintech Fund also provides investors with access to exclusive investment opportunities. Sustainable fintech startups are often at the forefront of innovation, and many are not yet publicly traded. By investing in the Sustainable Fintech Fund, investors can gain access to these exclusive investment opportunities and potentially benefit from the significant growth potential of early-stage startups.
Positive Impact
Perhaps the most compelling reason to invest in the Sustainable Fintech Fund is the positive impact it can have on society and the environment. Sustainable fintech startups are focused on addressing some of the world's most pressing social and environmental issues, such as climate change, poverty, and inequality. By investing in these startups, investors can support innovative solutions to these problems and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Selection and Mentor Opportunities
When you invest with Startupbootcamp, you have the option to help with final selection of the cohort that comes through the program as well as the opportunity to become a mentor on the program. If you have industry experience or startup skills to share, what better way than to impart them with startups you’re investing into.
