Investing for Good
Multiplying the impact in the ecosystem
We see our startups as a vehicle to do more for the ecosystem. Together, we can multiply our impact leveraging on their success and our collective efforts. With the support of our Programmatic Partner, Libra Philanthropies, we invest in these bright businesses. By joining the Accelerator, startups give 1% of their venture to to the program, a little less than a typical Advisor. This 1% could lead to multiplying benefits for the ecosystem as these companies grow, through their support to Envolve.
But we can do more. With up to 65,000€ micro-financing and up to 200,000€ in investments annually, we enable founders to grow faster and enforce their investment readiness. An investment to do good and to re-invest into the ecosystem and empower new ventures setting founders at the focal point.
