What is Socious Fund

Socious Fund transforms impact investing through an effective quadratic voting system. Community members donate to projects they believe in, and those donations determine how matching pool capital is invested in impact startups. The platform emphasizes community participation over wealthy-donor dominance through impact scoring and identity verification processes.

How Does Socious Fund Work?

  1. Project Proposal — Submit documentation for 501(c)(3) alignment verification
  2. Community Engagement — Community members donate and vote — with greater influence given to those with proven social impact
  3. Receive Investment — Community donations plus matching pool investment combined
  4. Project Execution — Regular reporting on impact metrics and milestones

Why Extended Quadratic Funding?

The model delivers three advantages:

  • Democratic Decision-Making: Coalition of modest donations gain proportional weight in determining investment allocation
  • Fair Resource Distribution: Prevents concentrated donor influence
  • Impact Optimization: Investment allocation combines community support with verified impact

How Do I Participate?

There are three participation categories:

  • Project Owners — Submit a project for investment through community-driven allocation
  • Supporters — Create an account to vote and donate to projects you believe in
  • Matching Pool Contributors — Contribute to the matching pool to amplify community-driven investment
