Business Idea:
A SaaS platform that seamlessly integrates impact-focused charitable giving into retail investment platforms, enabling investors to donate stocks or profits easily, transparently report impact, and support causes aligned with their values—all embedded within their existing brokerage workflows.
Problem:
Investors want to make a social or environmental impact but lack simple, integrated tools to automate charitable donations without disrupting their regular investing routines. Also, platforms lack easy ways to offer impact investing features that promote social responsibility.
Solution:
A secure, non-custodial SaaS solution connecting with brokers, allowing investors to set automated impact donation rules, choose causes, and receive detailed impact reports—all visible within their existing brokerage apps.
Target Audience:
Retail investors who care about social impact, fintech and brokerage platforms seeking to differentiate with ESG features, and financial service providers aiming to offer impactful investing options.
Monetization:
Revenue through partnership deals with brokerage firms and fintech platforms, possibly via subscription or usage fees. Additional revenue from impact reporting services and integrations.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Embedded impact giving that integrates directly into existing brokerage accounts, offering automation, transparency, and compliance, all without holding client funds—making impact investing effortless and trustworthy.
Launch Strategy:
Start by partnering with select fintech firms and brokerages to offer a pilot. Use targeted demos and impact reports to showcase benefits, gather user feedback, and iteratively improve before broader platform integrations.
