🍃💨Crowdinvesting - Green Energy💨🍃
Recently I was made aware of an interesting platform that I would like to share with you:
WIWIN Crowdinvesting
The company:
WIWIN offers private individuals to invest directly in sustainable projects, with corresponding interest. The idea of sustainability is very important to the company. The company only wants to offer crowd projects that have a positive impact on the climate. [1]
The company, founded by Matthias Willenbacher, provides capital in the areas of real estate and renewable energies as well as to founders with a sustainable business model. In total, WIWIN has already brokered capital in the amount of more than 120 million euros. [1]
The Bergiff Crowdinvesting:
The term crowdinvesting describes WIWIN's form of investment for us private investors quite well:
Crowdinvesting [2]:
"Crowdinvesting is a form of crowdfunding (swarm financing). Here, many private investors (the crowd) participate with relatively small amounts in a joint investment or project. The investors either participate in the economic success of the company or receive a fixed interest rate."
The founder:
You can find a variety of sources about the founder Matthias Willenbacher and even his own website to get a more detailed picture:

Interview with Matthias Wilenbacher:

According to his own homepage:
"Matthias Willenbacher is an energy transition pioneer and entrepreneur with a passion. He built his first wind turbine in 1996 and subsequently founded juwi. With juwi, Willenbacher has built up the largest project developer for renewable energy plants in Germany with locations all over the world. In 2011, the company had approximately 1,800 employees." [3]
I don't want to promote individuals in this article. But Willenbacher seems to me to be a serial founder who sees innovation and young companies as the solution to climate protection. Make up your own mind, I find him exciting in any case!

Alternatively, impact investing with Inyova is also offered:
Conclusion:
So there are various ways to invest in sustainable projects through WIWIN. As always, the risk of the investment increases with the interest rate. Ultimately, you have to inform yourself about the projects and assess the risk accordingly. However, I see it as an exciting opportunity to invest directly in sustainable projects, even if there is always a certain risk in crowdinvesting. You have to be aware of that. However, I have not yet invested in a project myself.
What do you think? Is such an investment an option for you?
As always no investment advice!
