In an increasingly interconnected world, the global economy faces unprecedented challenges. Market volatility, growing inequality and the urgency of the climate crisis force us to rethink our financial systems. In this context, EthicHub emerges as a pioneer in financial innovation, using blockchain technology to create regenerative financial models (ReFi) that are aligned with financial, social and environmental impact investing
What is EthicHub?
For countries like Spain, accessing financing is not usually a big problem, but the same is not the case with 25% of the world population, mainly in developing or emerging countries, which usually have to face annual interest rates of more than 60%. .
EthicHub is an investment platform that uses blockchain technology to connect small farmers with lenders. The idea is to provide affordable financing to farmers who would not otherwise have access to traditional banking services. And best of all, investors on the platform can not only make a social impact, but they can also make up to 8-10% profit on their investment.
The innovation of EthicHub
Thanks to the use of blockchain technology, EthicHub allows the free circulation of money between first world economies and emerging countries with operating costs less than 1%.
If that weren't enough, EthicHub's real innovation is based on linking the real economy with innovation thanks to the use of crypto assets. On the EthicHub platform all loans are over-collateralized with a double collateral system. On the one hand, the asset of the real world (today mainly coffee), and on the other hand the system of "crowd-collateral" (collective collateral).
This model makes it possible to invest safely while small farmers can access affordable financing from lenders around the world. The investment generates an annualized return of between 8 and 10% at the same time that it contributes to improving the standard of living of these small farmers through their own productive activity in a shared value generation model.
The growth of EthicHub
EthicHub has shown strong growth and success in recent years. With a base of more than 2.000 repeat investors, he has financed a total of more than $4 million to more than 600 farming communities.
In this way, EthicHub is consolidating itself as a Leading platform in impact investing and the use of blockchain technology.
In addition, the recent alliance with Heifer International underpins the growth of EthicHub with prominent players in the Impact Investing market. Heifer International, a global non-profit organization that works to eradicate hunger and poverty is also dedicated to supporting small producers, such as Mexico's coffee communities.
The alliance between Heifer and EthicHub is accompanied by an investment of $420,000 through the lending platform. This pilot investment will facilitate the more efficient dissemination of loan funds to qualifying coffee cooperatives participating in Heifer International's Beyond Coffee II Project in Chiapas, Mexico.
To continue its growth and expansion, EthicHub has raised $2M in its Seed round thanks to the participation of leading venture capitalists in the impact startup ecosystem, how Crane Earth o Flori Ventures.
The CrowdEquity Round
To complete its Seed round, EthicHub has launched a CrowdEquity round that has already raised more than 60%.
The success of this round has shown that it is a unique opportunity for investors. The CrowdEquity round aims to raise €250,000, and investors have the option to participate with a €1,527 investment ticket. In exchange, investors will receive between 3% and 5% equity in the company and it will close on August 4.
