The I³ Investment Coop works by developing strategic partnerships that align challenges with solutions and provide qualitative and quantitative data for impacting meaningful change.

This collaborative approach maximizes networked impact of investments and solutions while providing initiatives and supporters with essential tools and alliances from communities throughout the world.

Our principle partner is The Citizens Media^® – CM – a communications to commerce crowdfunding platform that enables investors, community members, project leaders and innovators to act as one big community.

It uses online conversations to connect with locals on their ground in their own communities: developing understanding of it’s opportunities and challenges. We then work together developing and funding proposals for meeting their real needs leading to the production of tools and services that are open, accessible and scalable.

Tracking data for assessing solution impact, the I³ Investment Cooperative provides its members with expertise and insights into which investments are most effective. This reduces risk associated with investing in new ideas and accelerates change so many want to see.

Innovative Board

Our Board is comprised of forward thinking specialists from around the world, who – while familiar with the pros and cons of 'Business As Usual' – are experienced in I³ concerns, such as Community Development, Alternative Finance and Distributed Technology.
