Yes, the world has lots of problems.

You have heard it before...We can all do our individual parts to contribute to the solution.

For example, my family of four, can recycle, drive less, buy less, donate to charity, eat healthy, exercise, stay balanced etc. 

But the world has 7.8 Billion people. How many of these 7.8 Billion people will do their part?

For the sake of this example, let’s say all 7.8 B do everything the can to solve the world's problems. 

On the contrary, how much money and assets are there in the world?

Global assets and wealth are estimated to be $300 Trillion to $900 Trillion dollars.  

$100 Trillion of that is managed by only 500 asset managers. Another $15 Trillion is managed by only 91 Sovereign Wealth Funds. So..about 600 groups control a huge percentage of the world's capital and investments.

Where is the leverage to solve the world's biggest problems?

Convincing 7.8 Billion people to change their lifestyle and behaviors? OR enticing some of the approximately 600 global capital allocators that control $115 Trillion dollars to invest in solving the world's problems?
 
What’s easier and would have more impact?

Introducing #investable. 

#investable aims to make the world’s biggest problems, well, investable. 

And investable at scale.

What if difficult problems like:

- climate change
- homelessness
- food supply
- health
- income inequality
- deforestation
- wildfires
- illiteracy....

to name a few, had solutions that were structured as large scale institutional grade investments?

Asset Managers cite two reasons why they don't do impact investments:

check/deal size: $50M to $100M minimums

lack of investable, institutional caliber quality deals
What if we could create investable deals of that size and quality?

Investable is:

Open Source: Creative Commons - CC BY-SA 4.0
Scalable: any size deal $500k to $5M to $5B
Collaborative: best minds in a field but also the crowd
Inclusive: participants get early access to deals and can be invested themselves
Investable is not an app, not a business, not a fund but more of a movement, a community and way of looking at and being in the world to make it better.

By collaborating with passionate people who care about solving these problems, #investable aims to create, source and manage global investments of suitable size and structure for institutional investors. True impact investments with financial, social and environmental returns, at scale.

Ten institutional investments (at the minimum check size) would equal $500M to $1B of impact investment. 

50 investments = $2.5B to $5B

100 investments = $5B to $10B

How is that for additional, world changing impact? 

And that is only a fraction of the Trillions of dollars.

We can all still recycle, donate to charity, drive less etc but it is evident what would have the greater and sooner impact.
