Member Community

Member communities like Mission Investors Exchange, Toniic and CREO have been crucial to growing the impact investing ecosystem. Upstart Co-Lab believes the creative economy needs a cohort of pioneering impact investors to step forward, demonstrate what’s possible, and be its ambassadors and evangelists. The Upstart Co-Lab Member Community is designed for:

• Art lovers wanting to understand impact investing through the creative economy; participate in learning opportunities like expert meetings and site visits; and begin to consider impact investment opportunities in ethical fashion, sustainable food, social impact media and other sectors of the creative economy.


• Experienced impact investors wanting to align their portfolios with art, design, culture, heritage and creativity; help develop new investment vehicles making it easier to target impact capital to the creative economy; and share their experience investing with a creativity lens through public speaking, media interviews, and conference events.
