Impact Guru, a social crowdfunding platform, has teamed up with Fundnel, an investment crowdfunding company, to combine investment opportunities. Piyush Jain, the CEO and co-founder of Impact Guru, indicates that the new partnership will allow the company to extend its influence to other areas of the globe where Indian people live.
Fundnel entered into the strategic partnership to tap into investments with the intent to return some funds into ventures that impact social needs. This is the first time an investment platform has teamed up with social crowdfunding and the reach of the combined forces will extend investment opportunities into countries that Impact Guru wants to expand to. Currently it is focused in India and allows people to support social causes there.
