Impact Investing

Categories: Investing

You don't just want to fund a company deriving its heft by delivering the fewest clicks to porn.

Hello, Snap. Hello, Google. Hello, Facebook.

No. You want real and positive impact. You want to fund a company that will fix global warming, clean up the plastic islands in the ocean, seal the ozone layer, stamp out malaria. Stuff like that. You want positive social impact in whatever form you can help.

So...go for it. We need more companies like this and fewer of the former variety, so we wish you the best from the bottom of our bleeding hearts at Shmoop.
