The secret to living is giving.
Givers Capital started with a simple observation: the best introductions in business happen between people who give first. Investors who share what they're looking for. Founders who are honest about their numbers. A connector in the middle who asks for nothing up front.
Joe Apfelbaum
Joe is the founder of evyAI, an AI platform for LinkedIn, and of Ajax Union, an Inc. 500 B2B marketing agency. He is a keynote speaker for EO, YPO and Vistage audiences and the author of the High Energy book series. He has about 30,000 LinkedIn connections, and he knows an unusual number of them personally.
Over twenty years he has introduced hundreds of founders to investors, bankers and advisors, mostly by email, mostly for free. Givers Capital is that habit with a system behind it: a place where investors say what they want, founders say what they're raising, a person checks both, and the introduction still comes from Joe.
Joe is based in [PLACEHOLDER: city, state]. He is not an investment adviser, and Givers Capital is not an investment firm. It is an introduction network.
A thousand givers, each giving to a thousand people.
That's the movement Joe is building, and Givers Capital is one of its rooms. Every introduction made here is a gift given first. Every sponsored dollar funds the vetting that keeps the room trustworthy.
The network is new. Counts of approved investors, vetted deals and introductions appear here as they happen, never before.
How we make money, plainly
Firms can pay for a labeled spotlight in the directory and on the homepage. Vetting is identical for everyone.
Vetted startups can pay for a featured spot in the Monthly Drop. Always labeled, never dressed as a recommendation.
