Why Vegan Launch is Different
Most people who invest in vegan startups today will lose all their money, and most vegan startups will fail due to lack of capital. Without a new approach to vegan finance itself, animal exploitation will continue to grow.
Almost all vegan investing today follows outdated Venture Capital style financial practices. The VC approach creates about 500 business failures for every winner.
VC style investing is the wrong approach for creating ethical shifts at a large enough scale to resolve today's most pressing issues, the wrong approach for all but the top 1% of vegan investors, and the wrong approach for most all scalable vegan businesses…Â
Instead of attempting to pick winners, Vegan Launch provides a training and capital assembly line that mass-produces vegan financial leaders who are growing truly world-changing vegan businesses.Â
Just as important, Vegan Launch is solving the liquidity problem for vegan startup investors.Â
Today, the only cash exits available to most vegan startup investors are IPO's, mergers, and acquisitions. These liquidity options are not appropriate for most companies that hold a long-term commitment to vegan cultural change.Â
Sadly, most vegan companies that have provided liquidity to their early investors to date did so by merging with ethically-bankrupt conglomerates which suck money out of the vegan movement while spending most of their marketing and lobbying dollars promoting animal exploitation.Â
Instead, Vegan Launch is developing modern liquidity options for investors that allow them to cash out their holdings without selling out the animals! With our unique approach to liquidity, investors do not have to choose between vegan ethics and cashing out at a profit.

What others are saying...
Mark was incredibly helpful in pushing me to think bigger and refining my pitch to plant-based investors, which ultimately lead to me closing my pre-seed raise within weeks of his coaching.
Aki Kaltenbach, Founder, Save da Sea
Not only is Mark a wealth of knowledge on raising capital and vegan business, but he’s also incredibly humble. Because of his advice early on, we received the funding our company needed to get started. I’m excited to follow Vegan Launch, what he’s created is nothing short of amazing.
Margaux Khoury, Co-Founder, Impact Veganics
I first met Mark in 2019 and was immediately impressed by his plan to use investing to improve the compassion of this planet. His passion for veganism mixed with years of knowledge in the financial and charity sectors have positioned him in the ideal place to create a platform that helps people who want to change the world invest in vegan companies.
I was so moved by the vision that I became an angel investor in Vegan Launch itself. Since then, I have watched the company grow into the sleek and professional platform that it is today. I have invested in two other vegan startups as a member so far, and look forward to seeing more opportunities as Vegan Launch grows.

Meet The Founder
Hi, I'm Mark Winstein, founder of Vegan Launch. I became an environmentalist at the first Earth Day in 1970 and went on to found several environmental businesses and NGO's.
Going vegan in 2016 changed everything for me! In 2018, I launched Vegan Launch to help investors of all types and vegan founders work together to grow businesses that can truly protect animals, people, and ecosystems.Â
Since then, Vegan Launch has helped vegan business founders raise over $650k in early-stage investment capital.Â
Now, with our new community platform, we aim replicate these early successes at scale to bring $1 trillion of new investment capital into the vegan economy by 2025.
More About Vegan Launch
Vegan Launch is a new kind of enterprise: a for-profit financial organizing community designed to guide $1 trillion of investment capital into the animal rights, ecology, and plant-based health economies by 2025.
We provide a unique setting for investors of any financial capacity and nationality to work closely with vegan business founders and financial organizers to finance solutions to today's most pressing challenges which, as vegans understand, have common roots in animal exploitation.
To mobilize a sufficiently large amount of capital to address today's massive challenges at scale while still maintaining distributed financial leadership and decision-making requires efficient training and support for investors, founders, and organizers at each step of their journey.Â
That's why Vegan Launch is an education and organizing platform, not a deal transaction platform. The actual sales of the public venture capital investment products we design collaboratively inside the Vegan Launch community are managed via strategic partnerships with specialist fintech platforms.

A completely new approach to vegan progress...
Today, most vegan, environmental, and social progress is constrained by the underlying financially-limiting design of all non-profit organizations and governments. These types of institutions are not capable of organizing sufficient amounts of ethical capital to resolve today's mega-challenges.
Yet there is no ethical capital shortage!Â
The charts below show that environmental and vegan investors hold $30 trillion of investment capital. Non-accredited vegan investors alone hold $1 trillion of that total.Â
By fusing activism with modern “public venture capital” style financing, the Vegan Launch community is helping reinvest this vast amount of ethical capital into the thousands of businesses working today to build a new economy benefitting animals, people, and the planet.Â
The vegan companies we launch and grow today will be the ethical economic leaders of tomorrow.Â
