Our Story

bettervest was launched in 2012 to finance energy efficiency projects at the hands of ordinary citizens. Energy efficiency saves money, protects resources and reduces carbon emissions. Large corporations had already caught on to this financial opportunity but private individuals had yet to reap the benefits and profit from this positive development. Crowdinvesting could help them do so.

This idea was presented by futurologist Patrick Mijnals at a Start-Up Weekend, where he won over his future co-founders. In the weeks that followed, Patrick recruited more smart minds to join his team and bring different skills to the table. Soon an idea turned into a business model.

Since the launch of our first project in 2013, a lot has changed. We have since developed from start-up into a young business and broadend our impact horizon. We now finance sustainable projects across the globe – be it biological wastewater treatment in Kenya, solar mini-grids in rural India or energy-efficient building renovations in Germany. All the while, we have remained true to our core mission: to contribute to a low-carbon economy that benefits everyone for years to come.
