1. Why Sustainable Investing?

  • Climate Impact: Your money can fund solar farms, recycling plants, and reforestation.

  • Financial Returns: Green projects often offer stable, long-term returns (e.g., solar farms with 5–10% annual yields).

  • Simplicity: No prior experience needed. EcoVest guides you at every step.


2. How EcoVest Works

3 Simple Steps:

  1. Sign Up: Create your free account .

  2. Take the Climate Quiz: Answer 5 questions to find projects that match your goals.

  3. Invest: Choose a project or let us build your portfolio.


3. Your First Investment

Step 1: Explore Projects

  • Use filters to narrow down projects:

    • Category: Solar, Recycling, Trees, etc.

    • Risk Level: Low (e.g., government-backed solar) vs. High (e.g., early-stage tech).

    • Minimum Investment: Start with $50.

Step 2: Invest

  • Click "Invest Now" on a project.

  • Enter your amount (e.g., $100).

  • Complete payment via Stripe (credit/debit card).

Step 3: Track Your Impact

  • Visit your dashboard to see:

    • Total CO2 saved (e.g., "100 kg").


4. Common Questions

Is my money safe?

  • Funds are held in escrow until projects hit 90% funding.

  • EcoVest uses bank-grade encryption (AES-256) for all transactions.

What returns can I expect?

  • Returns vary by project. For example:

    • Solar farms: 4–8% annually.

    • Recycling plants: 3–6%.

Can I withdraw early?

  • Not yet—we’re building a secondary market for 2025.


5. Pro Tips for New Investors

  • Start Small: Invest $50 in 2–3 projects to diversify.

  • Reinvest: Use returns to fund new projects.
