bettervest Verified platform

Bettervest was launched in 2012 to finance energy efficiency projects from citizens. The reason: Energy efficiency saves money, conserves resources and reduces CO2 emissions. Not only large corporations, but also private individuals should benefit from this.

Futurologist Patrick Mijnals presented this idea at a start-up weekend and convinced his first future colleagues there. In the weeks that followed, Patrick recruited other co-founders with different skills. An idea soon became a business model.

A lot has happened since the launch of the first project in 2013. We have now outgrown the infancy of a start-up and our horizon has expanded significantly: We finance sustainable and future-oriented projects worldwide with a focus on Africa and Germany - whether biological wastewater treatment in Kenya, solar mini-grids in India or energy-efficient buildings. renovations in Germany. We have remained true to our mission: to shape a more climate-friendly and social economy and society in the long term.
