Overview

Impactivist, known as Investir&+ until 2025, grew out of the social-enterprise incubator Fair Planet (2003) and an investor group formed through the Ashoka Support Network in 2011; the two merged in 2012 under Vincent Fauvet’s presidency. It is an evergreen investment company financed exclusively by individuals, mostly entrepreneurs — over 90 shareholders — who also support portfolio companies. It invests €250k to €2.5M in equity or quasi-equity, leading or co-leading seed and Series A rounds of impact startups in climate, health, circular economy, agriculture, education and inclusion, and civic tech. Its team also co-runs the Mutuelles Impact fund with XAnge.
