Tallinn chapter united on impact investing
Yesterday, the Tallinn chapter of the ImpactBuilders community organized an event on impact investing in the offices of PRnews.io in Porto Franco. By 18h, the Nordic sun was beaming through the large windows of their beautiful office, welcoming 20 angel investors (in the making) and entrepreneurs. After a short introduction of PRnews, our founder Jan Lagast took the stage to explain the benefits of impact investing, and to give several tips for the impact investors to better select the projects they would like to invest into.
Come and get inspired next time …
You probably would have expected those tips to appear now in this blogpost … well we will not do that … if you would really like to be better informed as an impact investor, feel free to join us on the next occasion in Tallinn on Wednesday August 28. Or in a similar event that we are going to organise in one of the other city chapters of the ImpactBuilders Foundation all over Europe.
