Supporting healthy and sustainable plant-based solutions is not only good for us and for the animals, it’s also good for the planet. Our goal is to find, support, and invest in early-stage scalable companies that produce good and services, which contribute to a more sustainable and compassionate world. We value integrity, transparency, and passion for creating a more just and sustainable world.Vegan Investors is a group of of investors who are committed to building a community of like-minded investors to support the growth and success of vegan companies. Vegan Investors aims to invest in early stage vegan companies where vegan values are a driving passion. Plant-based products are disrupting multiple industries at an accelerating pace, and there has been no better time to be a vegan company or to invest in one.Members will enjoy as much (or as little!) direct involvement in the recommendation, review, and due-diligence of potential investment opportunities. Led by an experienced team of vegan early stage investors, Vegan Investors brings together top notch investment expertise with the passion for reducing animal suffering through supporting the growth and success of early stage vegan ventures. As an investor syndicate, we aggregate individual investments as small as $5K into special purpose vehicles (SPVs) of $100K-$500K to make investments in to early stage vegan companies.
We will be syndicating all of our deals. We have a network of various investor groups including Glass Wall Syndicate, Social Venture Circle, Toniic, Next Wave Impact, and more.
The carry (or profits) is al follows: After each investor's investment is returned in an exit for a syndicated company, the 80% of the profits are paid out to investors in proportion to their share of the investment. So, for example, if we invested 100K into a company and it returned 600K, the 400K of the 500K in profits would be split among all the investors. So if you invested 10K, you'd receive your initial investment of 10K, plus one tenth of the profits, of 40K for a total of 50K.
The other 20% carry is split between the following:
5% carry goes to AngelList
5% carry goes to the syndicate lead, Next Wave Impact
5% carry will be donated to animal rights organizations, such as Compassion over Killing, Factory Farm Awareness Coalition, and A Well Fed World.
5% carry goes to the specific deal flow leads and advisors, TBD per investment. If you lead or advise on an investment, you will receive some of the carry.
