Bringing the Planet into every meeting room.

We are EarthInvest.

We get it, starting a business is hard. When you’re focused on getting your business off the ground, sustainability isn’t always a priority. EarthInvest is a fund to help your promising new business consider the planet as a stakeholder, today.

In return for our support, the only thing we seek is a commitment from you to consider the planet as a key stakeholder throughout the lifespan of your business.

How it works.
