We’re a group of vegan entrepreneurs and social impact investors who believe that the world needs more plant-based companies to lead the charge in environmentally and ethically-responsible ways. Our vision is to unite like-minded investors from around the world to build a vegan economy through equity Crowdfunding campaigns, regardless of how much or how little individuals are able to invest. There’s power in numbers and the most powerful way to create a vegan economy is through unified action.
