# Impact Investment

$SHARE's impact fund follows a radical new approach to solving global inefficiencies within existing socioeconomic systems. Inspired by Esther Duflo's work in _Poor Economics_ and the subsequent developments that stemmed from it, we aspire to apply statistical analysis and science to fund for-profit positive impact projects.

The saying “Sharing is caring” describes a relationship between two or more parties where the output of the interaction and its value get multiplied. The nuance in this transaction is the change in incentive for the party sharing and the party receiving. What can often be seen as a short-term loss is completely offset by the long-term stability and gain of the collective.

$SHARE is bringing these dynamics to a new socioeconomic system being formed worldwide. When a project receives funding, the project is not seen as a unilateral recipient but rather a new part of the whole.

The human body is a very complex and balanced system. The mind and the body are connected in ways that we cannot yet explain with words, yet it works. We believe society is the same, so we should treat it accordingly—an interwoven network of value flows.

When building a school, we are not just providing infrastructure for education; we are impacting short- and long-term value on a community that transcends higher literacy rates.

When increasing access to water, we are not just providing infrastructure for water access; we are impacting short- and long-term value on a community that transcends hygiene, health, and overall security.

When providing healthcare resources, we are not just providing resources for healthcare; we are impacting short- and long-term value on a community that transcends longer lifespans, lower mortality rates, and increased successful birth rates.

With this ethos, the Share Ecosystem seeks to deploy capital in the basic human needs sectors of water access, energy, education, and healthcare. This approach offers two key advantages:

1. Empowers the investments to have maximum human impact.
2. Guarantees cash flows back into $SHARE given the high potential for adoption of every investment.
