“Investing with economic impact” is more than a no-brainer nowadays. In a time where “sustainable finance” and “impact startups” are on the rise, we as libertarians value facts, evidence and data over aspirations, projections and castles in the air. Social or environmental impact are not immaterial. But we believe that market economics should take center stage in solving some of the world’s most pressing problems, for the betterment of both our planet (or of what we deem important about it) and the society. Our holding is currently invested in path-breaking startups in Switzerland, Panama, Malawi, and Canada. We're always on the lookout for 1) innovative, 2) scalable, and 3) economically compelling cases. If this holds for the venture you're building, please be in touch and send your pitch deck to: sebastian@hoffmann-economics.com For investors, especially business angels, family offices and foundations: If you seek to realize a higher ROI and to support startups with a real-world impact in lieu of startups that produce mere hot air about how they will eventually (!) save the planet and/or society, then recall that "in the long run we're all dead" (John Maynard Keynes) and, particularly, that most startups vanish before they have a true impact. As entrepreneurs and company builders ourselves, we have seen startup teams from the inside which are black sheeps (often with the best intentions) and would have been rightly in the focus of shortsellers if they had been publicly listed already. We help you avoid such traps which would burn your capital without any positive long-term impact. Please be in touch as well (christian@hoffmann-economics.com) and learn how to apply principles of Austrian Economics to your investments.
