Impactful financing
In our Impact Report (in Dutch) you will find our exact contribution and the way we achieved this. In a nutshell, we make a difference by:
Theory of Change StartGreen
Impact investing is still a niche activity. We want to make it mainstream. You can see how we do this in the Theory of Change model that we follow: in simple steps we make clear what the goal is, why it is the goal and how we can achieve it.
In order to measure the impact of businesses towards one or more of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we have developed a set of indicators with a few indicators for each SDG. The indicators include, for example, the number of children that received better education, the number of households that contributed to a more sustainable society, the number of kilojoules of energy generated, or the amount of CO2 saved. We have set one or more indicators for each business.

The energy transition
We now dare to call ourselves experts in the field of financing the sustainability of energy supply in the Netherlands. We invest in projects and manage funds that accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. Such as Energiefonds Overijssel: the largest regional energy fund in the Netherlands, in which we have been involved as a manager since its foundation in 2012.
Circularity
We - and fortunately more and more people with us - believe that the current linear and fossil economy does not last forever. The resulting climate problems and the depletion of natural resources speak for themselves. It requires a new economic system that respects the carrying capacity of the earth and keeps the needs of people, animals and the environment in a healthy balance. This new economy will focus on reuse and recovery. With that in mind, we started our crowdfunding platform Oneplanetcrowd, which merged with Invesdor in 2023. There we bring together innovative entrepreneurs and future-oriented investors to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
Diversity
At StartGreen Capital we believe in diversity, equality and fair opportunities for everyone. That is why we invest in funds and projects that promote these fair opportunities. Why? Because companies with a diverse team are often more innovative and perform better. And because we think that diversity, capital and business opportunities go hand in hand. That is why we co-founded the Borski Fund, which offers venture capital to female entrepreneurs in order to increase their share in the economy.
Innovative financing opportunities
We dare to do things that have never been done before: in developing new funds, structuring financing, and financing innovations. We offer a wide range of financing products that make us unique as a fund manager.
What we bring to the table goes beyond simply extending and organising financing. Our strength lies in the combination of expertise, market knowledge, network, entrepreneur support and investment expertise. Over the years we have accumulated a wealth of experience in impact investing in the most important themes of our time. This means that we know where the opportunities for new financing and investment lie.
We are not only the first to flag the latest developments in the market, but we also match the needs of entrepreneurs and investors in new funds and structures. We act as a partner to all the parties involved to ensure that both the businesses and the investments are successful.
