Our Impact
Some people say “money is the root of all evil“ this is incorrect. Money is not good nor evil. Money is a tool that can be used for good or for evil and we want to work with people who are using it to create positive change in the world.
There are still so many problems in the world that should not exist. We have the technology, we have the resources, and we have the know how.
At the core of all problems is the mother of all problems. The system is not set up to reward people making an impact, though this is changing.
Our Mission
Our mission is to get the tools that we’ve created into the hands of every impact fund, charity, and social enterprise on the planet, because if they had the funding we truly could have an amazing planet for everybody.
With the returns we are able to generate through trading currencies we see Symbiosis Capital as an Impact Amplifier
Trading currencies does not directly have a positive impact on the planet. We see it as a tool to create massive positive change. In fact our models show that impact organisations can have 7.59 times more positive impact on the planet in just 10 years by partnering with us.
There are two main groups of investors we work with; impact organisations whose sole purpose is to improve the world we live in directly; and traditional investors who are simply looking for returns (nothing wrong with that).
Originally when building Symbiosis Capital we were only going to accept impact organisations. We quickly realised that traditional investors were typically more receptive to our model than impact organisations and they would help us achieve our mission in less time.
We take 10% top line revenue from all traditional investors and commit it to impact organisations. We do this in a number of ways; donating directly to impact organisations who are clients of ours, investing in new technology or companies which are solving real problems.
For impact organisations who become clients we also give a 10% discount on fees and in some cases consult to them on improving the finial viability of their organisation.
Trading currency markets creates electrical product waste in the form of computers and technology that we need to do our job.
It also uses a modest amount of electricity to power our algorithms.
We are committed to running a carbon neutral business to offset the footprint on the planet.
On top of the other ways we have a positive impact, we also choose suppliers who have little or no impact and we plant more than enough trees each year to cover the carbon impact we cause by operating our business.
