We have partnered with cash-based financial services, such as Cash App, Chime, Venmo/Paypal, and traditional offerings (ACH and credit/debit cards) to ensure tenants have options they already trust to submit their rent payments any time.

| Corporate social spending is on the rise as businesses face growing pressure from stakeholders to make a positive impact in the communities they serve and throughout their supply chains. This demand is further intensified by regulatory scrutiny, such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Directive, which requires European companies to measure andreport their material impact on communities and supply chains. Additionally, the SEC is cracking down on cause-washing and green-washing claims, holding public companies accountable for their social impact commitments.On the other hand, impact-producing organizations, like nonprofits and social enterprises, struggle to receive funding based on their efficacy rather than reputation. Despite their agility and crisis response capabilities, only a small fraction of international humanitarian aid reaches these local organizations. Their time is consumed by fundraising efforts, grant applications, and reporting, limiting their capacity to scale their impact.Enter OutcomesX, the social outcome marketplace that bridges the gap between corporations and impact producers. By providing verifiable impact and equitable capital allocation, the platform empowers impact producers to access global funding and focus on driving meaningful change. The key features of OutcomesX include standardizing, pricing, trading, and reporting on social impact credits, simplifying the process for buyers to connect with the most effective impact producers while reducing administrative burdens on both buyers and producers. OutcomesX transforms corporate social responsibility from a buzzword to a measurable force for good, benefiting businesses, impact producers, and the communities they serve, and driving sustainable growth for a better world. | $1.7M / Seed / Nov 01, 2022 | ||
