Investors from IIOH #2
and many more!
Impact investing accounts for just 2.5% of total assets under management in Europe.
We’ve worked with more than 1,000 purpose-led businesses and backed 60 game-changing companies through four Unrest cohorts.
We’ve seen what happens when purpose and profit align - and how the right investors can accelerate that impact.
That’s why we created Impact <> Investor Office Hours: to bridge the gap between the investors who want to back world-changing ideas and the founders actually building them.
We fast-track impact founders towards investment.
Making better connections, faster.
We’re giving investors a new way to discover founders shaping the future - by spotlighting 100 of the most promising UK impact ventures.
