What Is Keenest?
Keenest is the investment platform dedicated to funding Climate Techs — the innovative companies tackling climate change head-on. It’s a hub for investors who are serious about making climate change a thing of the past. Keenest carefully selects Climate Techs and opens the door for retail investors to inject fresh capital, receiving tokenized proof of impact in return. Think of it as the gateway to financing a low-carbon economy. Ready to grab your keys and join this journey?
Main Benefits of Investing with Keenest
Investing with Keenest comes with some pretty compelling perks:
- No Membership Fees: Join the first club of investors dedicated to ecological transition without paying a dime to get started.
- Investment Starting from €500: Accessible entry point for those eager to make a difference.
- Zero Commission: Unlike traditional platforms charging over 10%, Keenest doesn’t take any variable fees on the amount raised.
- Selective Access: Private investment opportunities carefully chosen for their high potential.
- Performance Aligned with Top VC Funds: Access opportunities usually reserved for professionals.
- Security: Assets are recorded in a shareholder register managed by a third party, protecting investments even if Keenest defaults.
How Keenest Supports Founders and Investors
Keenest isn’t just about funding; it’s about building a community. Investors get to interact freely with project founders and other members in a dedicated space — a place buzzing with ideas, updates, and exclusive events. Founders of Climate Techs are encouraged to apply, especially if their projects align with Keenest’s mission: financing a decarbonized world that balances economic and environmental performance. Plus, by activating your community, you can energize your network and leave the competition in the dust.
Understanding the Risks Involved
Investing in early-stage Climate Techs is exciting but comes with its share of risks. Since many solutions are still in their infancy, investments can lead to financial gains or losses, and liquidity might be limited. Keenest is upfront about this — transparency is key. But here’s the reassuring part: your investments are housed in entities separate from Keenest (SPVs), managed by a third party to ensure sustainability even if Keenest faces difficulties.
Measuring Real Impact
Wondering how to measure the real climate impact of these innovations? Keenest relies on trusted third parties who compare greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions between two scenarios: one where the solution is implemented (the solution scenario) and a credible reference scenario without it. This method ensures that the positive environmental impact is not just claimed but verified — a crucial step in demonstrating the true value of these investments.
Project Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
- SDG 13: Climate Action
- SDG 15: Life on Land
Why Keenest Stands Out
Keenest offers more than just financial returns — it’s about making a real difference. Investors don’t have to choose between profit and purpose; they get both. The platform allows for active participation, meaning investors can engage directly with founders, stay updated on project news, and attend exclusive events. Keenest also offers diversified investment options, like a basket composed of all Climate Techs financed by the platform, reducing risk while boosting performance. It’s the most effective way to invest for the climate and be part of the largest revolution of our generation: the transition to a low-carbon economy.
