Let's invest together for a sustainable world
Citizenfund is a cooperative and impact investment fund that leverages collective intelligence to select the companies it finances.
Our approach
- Project encounter with the operational team.
- Presentation to the selection committee, consisting of 2 cooperative members, 2 experts, and 1 co-founder of Citizenfund.
- Presentation to all cooperative members during a constructive debate evening.
- Online voting by cooperative members for 10 days.
- Funding and support for entrepreneurs.
Our results
Our money has an impact. Through our everyday consumption choices, as well as in banking and investments.
We use finance as a virtuous tool to bring about the positive changes society needs.
By investing in our cooperative, you take back control of what your money finances and become a change maker. You invest in the real economy and support the development of companies that truly make the world a better place.
