CoPeace

DENVER – CoPeace, a diversified holding company which invests in growing companies demonstrating positive measurable impact and strong fiscal health, today announced the availability of V.I.B.E.™ (Valuation of Impact Brand Equity), a proprietary tool designed to place a relative-value score on an athlete’s positive impact on society.

VIBE™ scores are based on publicly available information regarding an athlete’s socio-cultural and environmental impact on society, such as impact activities on global/societal issues, philanthropic work, endorsements, athlete-produced content via traditional and social media and more.

“We have analyzed over 2.4 billion data points through publicly available information covering athletes’ social media usage, contracts, and impact work,” said Ed Tepper, COO of CoPeace. “Our machine learning models process this massive amount of data, develop an association between athletes and ESG (environment, social, governance) categories, as well as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGSs), to accurately measure the athletes’ impact, and from there, calculate a standardized score for each.”

It’s important to note that the scores reflect the association between athletes and impact, and they do not specifically measure actual impact. The first iteration of VIBE analyzed the most impactful NBA stars, finding that Brooklyn Nets stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving rank highest among their scoring criteria with scores of 70 and 67.9 respectively. Draymond Green, Russell Westbrook and LeBron James round out the top five, all with scores hovering around 66.

In addition to helping athletes, brands and marketers gauge their positive impact on society, there’s a consulting arm of the VIBE tool that can help improve scores through increasing scale and scope of athletes’ and brand’s ESG impact, determining athletes’ brand values through a holistic, data-driven approach and matching brands with athletes based on impact areas of interest and media reach.

“It’s our hope that the publicly available VIBE scores will create buzz and good conversation around the power of sport for good, and lead to opportunities for CoPeace to aid brands in undertaking business endeavors that have positive measurable impact, whether they be the personal brands of athletes, sponsors, brand marketers, leagues and more,” said Craig Jonas, CEO of CoPeace. “Our overall mission with this new tool is to encourage those with influence to continue building their reach and platform in a way that will make a difference and set an example for others to follow.”

The VIBE™ tool is an expansion of CoPeace’s presence in the sports arena. In October 2020, CoPeace launched CoPeace Sport, a wholly owned subsidiary designed to engage in brand equity management, impact measurement and organizational engagement to bring social and environmental impact to the forefront of the sports industry.

DENVER – CoPeace, a diversified holding company which invests in growing companies demonstrating positive measurable impact and strong fiscal health, today announced its filing of a Regulation D (506(c)) offering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The purpose of this filing is to secure funds through investments from accredited investors in the holding company, which directly invests in for-profit companies seeking solutions to societal and environmental problems, while striving for a competitive financial return.

CoPeace’s 506c offering allows the company to sell 24,000 shares of Series A preferred stock to accredited investors. Shares are priced at $125.00 USD each with a minimum investment of $50,000 (400 shares). The offering will be conducted on a best efforts basis through the CoPeace website: https://copeace.com.

As a holding company, CoPeace utilizes investor capital to purchase controlling interest in complementary, purpose-driven subsidiaries with innovative, marketable concepts and a strong leadership team, who are combating world problems with measurable impact and are projected to have positive growth and potential target returns.

“We’re excited to embark on a new capital raise through our 506c offering and continue advancing investments in our company, but more importantly, in companies that are actually combating world problems with measurable impact,” said CoPeace CEO Craig Jonas. “Considering the rapid growth of ESG assets, this offering presents a unique opportunity for investors to get involved before they soar. Beyond that, this provides an opportunity for investors, through a single investment, to diversify their portfolios and avoid the volatility of the stock market by investing in industries and sectors that will drive change in the coming decade, ultimately growing their money for good.”

CoPeace has already raised over $1.9M through previous rounds to facilitate investments in socially impactful organizations and acquire meaningful subsidiaries, as well as contribute to general operating costs. Capital raised through the 506c offering will further support CoPeace’s current portfolio, while helping expand their holdings to include themes of public health, education, and financial accessibility.

“We’ve received tremendous support on our fundraising journey thus far, and we look forward to this next chapter to continue changing the structure of global capitalism in a way that places the environment and society on equal footing with profits,” said Jonas.

DENVER (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – CoPeace, a diversified holding company which invests in growing companies demonstrating positive measurable impact and strong fiscal health, today announced it has launched a Regulation CF equity crowdfunding offering following the validation of its Form C by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The purpose of this offering is to allow both accredited and non-accredited potential investors the opportunity to invest in a holding company that directly invests in for-profit companies seeking solutions to societal and environmental problems, while striving for a competitive financial return.

CoPeace’s Regulation CF equity crowdfunding offering allows the company to sell up to $1,069,920 worth of shares to the public. Shares are priced at $120.00 USD each with a minimum investment of $360 (three shares). The offering will be conducted on a best efforts basis through the Wefunder Portal, https://wefunder.com/copeace.

CoPeace fills a massive gap that currently exists in the competitive landscape of impact investing – one that provides access to the investing process, while prioritizing true impact and emphasizing the potential returns. Currently no services exist for everyday consumers to invest in the impact space without a strong understanding of the industry, financial literacy, and personal wealth. There is tremendous opportunity for CoPeace’s investing model with more than 8-in-10 U.S. investors interested in sustainable investing and the impact investing market seeing explosive growth this year, climbing to $715B as of April 2020.

“Today is an exciting day for CoPeace, as we launch our Regulation CF equity crowdfunding offering to enable investment in not only our company, but ultimately in companies that are actually combating world problems with measurable impact,” said CoPeace CEO Craig Jonas. “There is a common misconception that profits and positive impact are mutually exclusive. The current global capitalism structure prioritizes profits over people and planet. CoPeace is offering a different option, one in which the environment and society are on equal footing with profits. As such, we believe we can help change capitalism and the world for the better.”

CoPeace recently secured $1.6M in a private funding round to facilitate investments in socially impactful organizations and acquire meaningful subsidiaries, as well as contribute to general operating costs. Capital raised through Regulation CF equity crowdfunding offering will support CoPeace’s current portfolio of three companies centered on climate crisis solutions, cleantech innovation, and economic equality opportunities, while helping expand their holdings to include themes of public health, education, and financial accessibility.

DENVER (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CoPeace, a diversified holding company which invests in growing companies demonstrating positive measurable impact and strong fiscal health, today announced it has secured $1.6M in funding through a private capital raise. The round included more than 48 influential individuals from within their private network of investors, including family/friends and successful entrepreneurs and businesspeople.

CoPeace is the first holding company to provide an accessible means to invest directly in for-profit companies seeking solutions to societal and environmental problems, while striving for a competitive financial return. As a holding company, CoPeace utilizes investor capital to purchase controlling interest in complementary, purpose-driven holdings through a unique investment approach that creates a path for nearly anyone to participate in impact investing, including communities often overlooked in traditional investing.

“With the support of our investors, CoPeace will use this funding to make investments in socially impactful organizations and acquire meaningful subsidiaries, as well as contribute to general operating costs,” said CoPeace CEO Craig Jonas. “The mission behind everything we do at CoPeace is to continue democratizing impact investing and help individuals of all investing backgrounds grow their money for good. Many self-described ‘impact’ investment opportunities available today are not truly aligned with achieving impact goals, prioritizing financial return over effective impact. The CoPeace approach considers stakeholders, not just shareholders, when making investment decisions, and empowers investors to build wealth while making a difference.”

CoPeace uses a Head + Heart + Math formula when vetting potential partners to identify companies with innovative, marketable concepts and a strong leadership team, who are combating world problems with measurable impact and are projected to have positive growth and potential target returns. Currently, CoPeace’s portfolio includes three companies, Advanced Sustainable Technologies, CoFi LLC and Uncharted Power, all of which focus on climate crisis solutions, cleantech innovation, and economic equality opportunities. Future holdings will fall under the themes of public health, education, and financial accessibility.

“It is an honor to have CoPeace as a part of the Uncharted Power community,” said Jessica O. Mathews, Founder & CEO of Uncharted Power. “The CoPeace team members have provided guidance that has been invaluable to our growth. Knowing how deeply their values in solving environmental and social issues align with ours makes working with them all the more powerful.”

According to Morgan Stanley’s 2019 study on investor interest in sustainable investing, more than 8-in-10 (85%) of U.S. individual investors expressed interest in sustainable investing, yet 65% cited a lack of available products as the barrier to including sustainable investing in their portfolio. CoPeace fills a much-needed void that currently exists in the competitive landscape of impact investing – one that provides access to the direct investing process, while prioritizing true impact and profit.
