We democratize startup investments. By enabling everyone to participate in big change, even with small amounts. For us, that means making it easy to invest in new, exciting and ethical companies, so that together we can support the companies that are building a better future for all of us. Our motivation We founded capacura to invest in impact start-ups in the fields of education, health and the environment. Together with our investors, we take responsibility to actively stand up for a better future for each and every one of us. In our vision to create the best investment in the world, we combine both the pursuit of economic success through high-yield investments and the drive to create a better tomorrow for all of us.

Ina and Dr. Ingo Dahm For Ina and Ingo, the desire for good access to healthcare and education for all, a clean environment and social fairness run like red threads through their lives. While Ina earned her first professional spurs in the social sector and worked meaningfully in child and adolescent psychiatry, street work, residential care and youth protection centers, Ingo researched and completed his doctorate in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence. He worked intensively with students and start-ups, worked as a manager for Microsoft and Deutsche Telekom AG, became Professor of Technology and Innovation Management and was elected Rector of what is now Germany's largest university. Together, Ina & Ingo carried out consulting projects and were mandated by large German companies, medium-sized companies and start-ups in the areas of coaching, supervision, digitization, innovation and turn-around management. While Ina is particularly popular with young female entrepreneurs as a business coach, Ingo has extensive experience as an advisory board member at renowned universities and international companies as well as entrepreneurial experience from his own start-up projects. Both are convinced that impact startup investments are a perfect bridge between the world of high-yield risk investments and the cosmos of sustainability through donations and foundations.
