Invitation to be one of 100 Founding Members of the Movement
We believe this movement is for everyone—from the Family Office to the Retail Investor, from the rich young ruler to the widow and her mite. But at this stage we’re currently setup to handle only accredited investors. FDI is largely a donor driven ministry. The goal is to create sustainability that will offset some of the expenses and allow the non-profit ministry to continue to serve the growing FDI movement.
We’re looking for 100 Founding Members that will help us staff some of the key initiatives as we grow. For those who decide to join us, these are just some of the benefits that come with a Marketplace Membership…
Marketplace
Unique Access to Unique Deal Flow
Come to the place where every investment has an impact. This is where you can find direct deals and funds that are looking for Faith Driven Investors to make their mark on the world.
On the platform, you can find and follow deals that fit your return profile. Discover everything from philanthropic capital to market return and search by impact area, industry, or region to spend your time connecting with people that fit your needs.
Want it boiled down even further? Favorite and follow your deal and track along their fundraising journey. Or get the deals to you in the Marketplace Spotlight Newsletters.
community
Join the Movement
We serve a diverse collection of Faith Driven Entrepreneurs and Investors that personally affirm the Lausanne Covenant. When you invest you’re putting capital to work with like minded investors that share your values.
The FDI community learns from each other. Sort through deals that have been sponsored by another trusted member of the community. Hear from experts in a particular industry describe what they like about the deal.
You can also get involved with Working Groups focused on individual sectors that connect quarterly. And stay tuned for Investors Groups, which will be focused on different industries, regions, or affinities.
20+ Demo days
Curated Deals Delivered Right to You
Why spend your time and money booking flights and traveling around the globe for drawn out demo days? Now, we’re bringing these directly to you with our online meetings.
Hear about new deals that are coming to the platform and connect directly with them as their deals go live. Also, get to know the partners, champions, and funds that are already involved.
These calls are also a chance to join Investor Groups where you can debrief on the presentations together, talk about what struck you, and brainstorm ways to get more involved.
Shared Diligence
Collaborate with other Family Offices
Often times we pay for an advisor that has a baseline knowledge across wide asset classes. But with FDI you can tap into the industry expertise of the community.
Need to talk to someone who has a passion for investing overseas? Looking for someone who knows all about Medical Devices? You can find people who share your interests and can help you staff your weaknesses.
In this communal approach, the Faith Driven Investing community can learn, grow, and glean from the work the group as a whole is doing every day.
unique content
Find Resources to Encourage and Equip You
For many, this journey into entrepreneurship or faith driven investing is a relatively new one.
Everyone comes to the table with similar thoughts, doubts, and hopes. What are the questions we should be asking? How should we handle currency risk? How can charitable capital be used to make a greater impact?
With the new Faith Driven App you get access to the best thinking on these questions and more. You can find industry overviews to help you on your journey, as well as answers to both the most basic and complex questions that our team is hearing. It also includes previous conference content, video stories and podcasts brought to you in one easy place.
conference pass
Be a Part of the Annual Family Gathering
Events are Catalytic. There’s something about gathering with like minded leaders to take in content and share in the journey together.
While the 2020 conference moved online, we still had over 1,700 people registered from over 25 countries. It was a great time for learning and reflection, as well as encouragement and conviction—all led by men and women like you.
As a member you get one free pass to either attend in person or online.
Member-Only Trips
Go See Where and How God is Moving
This movement touches every corner of the globe. And while many of our demo days will be focused on international companies, there will also be unique opportunities for members to travel together.
This will look like international events that provide a great opportunity to get to know other investors while also doing the work that will expand this movement.
These trips will likely include additional costs depending on the travel plans and destination.
EQUIP Your Entrepreneurs
Get Resources to Help Them on Their Journey
