WHAT WE DO

People with arms around in other in support

Atticus Impact Investing is an Appalachian-based company funding business ideas in our region today that will fuel a thriving local economy and make lasting, generational impact on our community tomorrow.

For people who want to start a business and businesses looking to expand, we offer private capital to help you get started. It’s not a loan, so you’re not on the hook to repay if your business doesn’t take off. Because we only earn a return if you do, you have an ally at your side who wants to see your idea succeed so both your business and your community thrive.

HOW IT WORKS

Step by step

  • STEP 1

    Start by answering five simple questions below about your idea to start or expand a business in Appalachia.

  • STEP 2

    We’ll have a conversation with you about your business’s potential to transform the lives of future employees, what you need to get started and how we can help.

  • STEP 3

    If it’s a good fit for both parties, we’ll agree on the resources Atticus Impact Investing can offer to fund your business and the terms of the investment.

  • STEP 4

    With the capital you need, you can get started on making your idea a reality. We’ll be in your corner, but you will maintain complete control over your business and how you run it.

  • STEP 5

    When your business succeeds, we’ll celebrate the return together. Once your agreed upon return of investment is paid, our relationship is complete and all your future growth is yours alone.
