Democracy of Dreams Impact Categories

Democracy of Dreams will focus on supporting, growing, nurturing and funding impact focused startups. Especially startups around the world that have been historically neglected by traditional VC systems and don't get the same chance to receive meaningful support. We are going to change the playing field and will globally invite all startups that are already trying to deliver impact. For that reason we developed our own categories for impact. Over time we will add more categories and existing categories will evolve. Please see our impact categories below.
