Unlocking Impact: The Strategic Imperative of Engaging Impact Investors

Our goal is to operate competitively in the market with a sustainable business model supported by local municipalities and public banks. We aim to create added value for municipalities to offset the costs associated with negative externalities in the market system. To achieve this, we require significant capital, beyond what we could raise through donations alone, which is why we turn to impact investing.
We engage impact investors who are willing to provide capital in the form of debt financing (such as loans) with agreed-upon interest rates and repayment terms, or revenue-based financing and grants to support our transformative initiatives without expecting financial returns. As ecoloc is owned by the non-profit foundation ecoloc and its associates, external parties cannot obtain equity. However, we are eager to involve impact-oriented asset managers who share our vision and are willing to participate actively within our consent decision-making structure (sociocracy).
Impact investment is channelled through two separate structural avenues that require development in a coherent strategic relationship: investment in the development of ecoloc itself and investment in communities where investments can be made directly in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through our triad mechanism (where equity is possible).
