With Vicinity Capital, you can give + get this holiday season by investing in local businesses that you already know and love. Local Microinvestinga.k.a. what Vicinity Capital is all about — is where financial capital meets social capital. This means that as an investor, you’ll be fueling growth in our community with as little as $100, and have a shot at also earning a return. 🎁

Not only will you be giving back to our community by supporting your favorite local shops, restaurants, and more, but you’ll have the chance to earn financial returns from your investment – and you’ll be helping make the Greenville that we all live in a little bit better. Since you can invest with just $100, anybody can be an Angel (being heard on high: not required).

Plus: You’ll be investing in companies that you actually know and want to see grow. Since the businesses on the platform (currently Luminuex Chocolate, Belladina’s Pizzeria, and Chapel) are right in our backyard, investors can see (and taste) the impact of their investments.

And if you’re not a financial wizard, there’s no need to fear. Vicinity Capital makes it easy for anyone to set up an account in minutes, browse live campaigns, and invest with a few clicks. Now you can celebrate the season of giving + support your local community a little differently this year.
