Community Investing

Without getting too excited, I don’t have evidence to prove that the term “community investing” started in tech or even if the practice started, where it feels like it did, in 2020.

Here’s what I will say, the first time I really saw “Community Investing” was through the Flybridge Network Fund, The Community Fund.

What is community investing?

Community-focused investing or community-based investing is an investment consideration to which community and network health is factored as criteria for investment.
