    Hi all

    My company is a B Corp and a PBC. I'd love to hear from other impact companies here about how you find investors interested in solving environmental problems with long horizons.

    Alex - congrats on going the PBC route. My company VALDI which provides access to hard to find GPUs such as A100 and A6000's using an "Uber for Cloud Compute" model is also structured as a PBC. We decided to go the PBC route because of our mission to provide reliable, affordable, and sustainable computing power with democratized computing resources required for AI by making them accessible to all.

    We got our investors after publishing our mission statement on Linkedin under our company page (not marketing here but just sharing my personal experience) when we launched our GPU marketplace: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7076666374890160128 and then shared it to our potential investors so they knew what we stand for and our proposed solution to address the impact of data centers and AI on the environment. 

    We are now fortunate to have some great impact investors who support our mission and are actively participating and helping us as well. 

    Glad to exchange more over DM
