About

ChainCapital works as an intermediary between investors, investment banks and projects with high social impact. The aim is to design ways to complement and replace donation capital, to tap new groups of investors and new sources of finance for impact projects.

ChainCapital accelerates the emancipation of Social Enterprise, Development and Philanthropy as asset classes through structuring investment products that are aimed at the risk/return appetite of non-donation funds.

The core aim of ChainCapital is to de-polarise “doing good” which is typically effected through donations and “doing well” in the sense of making a positive financial return, which is typically done considering financial criteria only.
