A growing number of individuals are looking to invest their money in a more meaningful way, into ventures they know and trust and that contribute to the health and well being of their communities. But hunting down those investment opportunities is difficult.
Investibule brings together a wide range of community-based investment opportunities into one easy-to-use platform that allows investors to discover investments tailored to their interests and investment profile.
The financial landscape is changing rapidly, opening up new capital-raising options that allow entrepreneurs to bypass traditional financial gatekeepers and tap into their customers and supporters for funding.
By helping investors discover these investment opportunities, we increase awareness and broaden a company’s pool of potential investors. At the same time, we uncover market signals that indicate untapped investor demand, allowing entrepreneurs to identify potential angel investors and supporters within their communities.
The universe of community-based investments is growing, but remains highly fragmented. Investibule provides a focal point for community-based investment of all kinds and accelerates the movement by shifting the financial narrative and the flow of money into these emerging community-friendly investments.
We support all forms of community capital and partner with community-based financial organizations for mutual benefit and to grow the movement.
Investibule lists hundreds of opportunities, bringing together offerings across 20-plus funding sites.

the new economy needs a new financial system that lets a thousand financial models bloom, bridging the gap between financial innovation and community
As that concept gains currency, more and more investors are looking to put their investment dollars to work in their communities, where they can have a positive impact. A community can be the neighborhood, state or region where a person lives. Or it may be a group that they identify with, such as ethnic heritage, or a passion (renewable energy, women-owned business, craft beer).
However, that natural and seemingly simple impulse has been difficult to act on. Community-based investment opportunities exist, but they are scattered across multiple organizations and are difficult for investors to discover.
Investibule solves that problem by gathering community-based investment opportunities spanning Kiva, Credibles, Direct Public Offerings and JOBS Act-enabled crowdfunding offerings onto one easy-to-use platform.
