Unveiling a New Marketplace for Faith Driven Entrepreneurs

God’s Kingdom is advancing where commerce happens. Much of this marketplace transformation is happening through entrepreneurs and investors. They shape the internal culture of a company, the economy of a city, and even the society of country. When like-minded investors are strapped to the mast with entrepreneurs, they can weather the fiercest storms and sail into blue oceans filled with opportunity.

For faith driven entrepreneurs, Marketplace offers access to a network of faith driven investors—funders who are seeking like-minded entrepreneurs as partners in bringing the gospel and the glory of God to every industry, office-space, and board room. Marketplace helps entrepreneurs connect their passions with capital, engage in a community centered on biblical encouragement, and provides entrepreneurs with a space to develop and share their ventures through coaching sessions, the Bridge2Impact Platform, and the Faith Driven Entrepreneur Conference.

The mission behind Marketplace for faith driven entrepreneurs is to help bring the kingdom on earth. It is a global movement and for the first 12-18 months, it is free to join. You can learn more about Marketplace at the Faith Driven Entrepreneur Conference and hear from several of the participating members. Even better, you can hear from and connect with faith driven investors who are looking for opportunities to partner with entrepreneurs like you, for the glory of God and the sake of the gospel.

Accessibility / Connected, Faith Driven Investing, Generosity, Poverty, Time Management

Gleaning, the Old Testament practice whereby farmers left an unharvested margin around their fields and the poor came and picked from it, was at the heart of the Book of Ruth.
