Why you should
support our Business

If you are looking to invest in an award-winning green startup, look no further!

Business as usual is dead - if the Covid pandemic or the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine with all their geoeconomic repercussions have taught us anything.

Yet, the necessary change needs conscious investors who realize that their financial power can make a difference. Increasingly, ESG factors (environmental, social, and governance) are part and parcel of the analysis process undertaken by investors who no longer focus solely on numbers. They understand, however, that ESG investing also promises reliable and substantial returns.

Recent shifts in the financing sector have put a market value on things that didn’t have one previously: the environment and human dignity. Consideration for biospheres and human well-being are becoming the basis on which to judge the future viability, resilience and performance of businesses. $30.7 trillion currently sits in sustainable investment funds worldwide. Sustainability puts an added value on products and services.

If you want to cash in on that market value, and if you are looking for a solid impact investment, then let’s do business together! We offer you a triple-win opportunity. Invest in THE GROVE to make money, to help environmental conservation and to support culture and tradition in the Mediterranean. Our sustainability efforts have been awarded with a Certificate of Excellence by the GreenTecLab project, which is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and the European Climate Initiative.

We are seeking an investment of €350,000 in exchange for a 15% equity stake in our company, which will support us in securing a bank loan. This investment offers a 15% share in net annual profits along with a preferred annual return of 10%. Additionally, investors will have the option of a buyback at 1.5x the initial investment after ten years. As a valued investor, you’ll also enjoy exclusive, reduced rates for unforgettable holidays at THE GROVE CRETE
