MISSION MARKETS UPDATES
HOME
Mission Markets was launched with the singular goal of promoting
and expanding socially responsible investing. We are doing this by building an online capital marketplace to support companies and
projects that produce triple bottom line results.
ABOUT US
We provide a wide range of products and services that are new
to the social capital markets. Investors can see new investments opportunities and sell current investment holdings into a secondary market of like minded investors. Entrepreneurs can raise capital and keep their investors' progress current via online reporting systems. Social venture funds can use the platform to raise new or additional capital. Social markets advisors can source existing deals and find new clients within the marketplace.�
OUR SERVICES
Mission Markets operates in various sectors that traditionally have been highly fragmented and underserved by financial services firms. By bringing structure, standards and new technology, our singular goal is to increase the flow of Mission aligned capital to these emerging sectors. ���
OUR MARKETS
Mission Markets' members are primarily three types of participants; investors, issuers and advisors. They will use the platform to find
new investment opportunities or sell existing investments, raise
new capital, or advise as to the structure of individual transactions.
We provide the vital infrastructure that enables them to support this market and each other. All of our investor members must be accredited to access our marketplace and we are a broker neutral platform.���
