Ark2030 & Funderbeam Announce Partnership

by Oli Harris

Funderbeam and Ark2030 are proud to announce a partnership that will see Funderbeam provide a Private Market for Ark2030’s Investor Network. 

The Private Market will enable members to invest in ambitious companies committed to ending the climate crisis, reversing the destruction of our environment and building a sustainable future for our planet.

The collaboration will create a global investment hub focused on Climate Environment and Sustainability (CES)

An initial cohort of 20 companies will launch funding rounds to Ark2030 investors in February, followed by a further cohort towards the end of the Quarter.

Stephen Fern, Chairman of Ark2030 said; 

“We have an ever growing network of Partners worldwide who will identify businesses addressing CES challenges, providing on the ground support throughout their journey. We will be bringing these together with a powerful investor base looking to deliver very real and measurable impact. This required us to work with a proven, fully regulated investment platform. 

“Alongside its pioneering technology which enables investors to trade shares in their portfolio, providing liquidity, Funderbeam has for many years been my Investment Platform of choice and we are delighted to embark on this ambitious programme with them”

Oli Harris, Managing Director of Funderbeam UK, commented

“Our Private Market product delivers the perfect platform for this pillar of the Ark2030 mission: Climate Crisis Capital. Connecting an impact focussed group of investors with businesses looking to secure funding. Thereby helping to maximise their impact on the global CES challenges which threaten the future of our planet.

We are pleased to be playing our part by providing a regulated platform with which the Ark2030 network can back companies making a difference. My congratulations go to Stephen for his determination and drive to help put this all together.”
