Kachuwa Impact Fund

Kachuwa Impact Fund, based in Boulder, Colorado, operates as an investment cooperative that pools capital from both accredited and non-accredited investors to finance impact ventures. The fund provides patient, long-term, non-controlling capital to a range of mission-driven businesses, including nonprofits, cooperatives, and certified B Corporations, prioritizing mission alignment and non-extractive returns over maximizing financial gains. It has raised over $3.4 million through annual stock offerings and made between 17 and 50 investments, notably leading a $3 million Seed VC round for portfolio company Nexstride in February 2022. Kachuwa Impact Fund was selected for the ImpactAssets 50 (IA 50) in 2025, recognizing its role among experienced impact investment firms, and has also secured $3.2 million to support cooperatives. Key personnel include Director Yichen Feng and advisors such as Brady Quirk-Garvan, Jamie Beale Howe, and Stephen Irvin. The organization was founded in 2015 by Blake Jones.
