Who started the club & why ?
Catalyze the vegan economy
Current animal-based production and market practices are widespread and unsustainable. A pound of beef can take 1,800 to 4,000 gallons of water to produce. According to the Water Footprint Network, the average water footprint per gram of beef protein is six times larger than for legumes. The future is vegan. It’s time to invest in sustainable, humane food production.

Maximize your impact by joining the Vegan Investing Club.
We have 3 phases
Phase 1 – From 2020 to late 2021, 11,676 members like you joined our Club to be on the list to get announcements of the first vegan companies.
Phase 2 – In late 2021 we began announcing one company a month. The response from members was so positive – the vegan entrepreneurs reported raising significant amounts of money from Club members.
The model seemed to be working: “a free Club of vegan advocates investing small amounts together.”
“But the question was “could it scale to help hundreds of vegan companies every year and really ramp up accelerating the vegan economy?”
By the end of 2022 we had the answer. The membership had grown past 20,000 and our Club had invested significantly in 10 companies. This model works. Now the founder and his advisors realized it’s time to scale up membership into the hundreds of thousands or millions and accelerate the vegan economy even faster.
Phase 3 – During 2023 the founder’s vision is to rapidly increase membership and announce many more vegan companies. We could reach 100,000 members worldwide and help 25 companies!
Who knows how far this can go? People all over the world are waking up and realizing that if most people eat even 10% more vegan this will save us all. And the good news is that everyone can be part of this change with a chance to profit from the expanding vegan economy.
So maybe the founder’s vision of a global Club of a million vegan investors will manifest – with each member building their own private diversified vegan retirement portfolio. This would help hundreds and hundreds of vegan startups.
And when we help the vegan economy, we heal the world.
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.
