Hi, I'm Chris. As a former lecturer in Entrepreneurship at UnternehmerTUM, I've seen hundreds of impact founders struggle with the same challenge: searching for co-founders who actually share their vision, or wasting months pitching to the wrong investors.
INSPIRED solves this. It's a curated platform where 2,000+ impact investors, thousands of collaborators, and fellow innovators actively search for startups like yours – based on your idea's merit, not your follower count.
Create your profile once. Get discovered repeatedly. No daily posting, no algorithm chasing.
✓ Get discovered by 2,000+ investors who care about impact, not just exits
