Today on the podcast we have the CEO and co-founder of Yova, Tillmann Lang. Yova is a leading impact investing platform that enables individuals to invest their money into companies and industries that have a positive impact. Yova exists to create a better Planet Earth through sustainable investments. Yova recognizes that capital allocation is a key way to make a difference in the world, and the platform has appealed to many individuals, even people completely new to investing, who want to make a positive impact with their investments without compromising their investment returns. Investing with Yova goes hand in hand with supporting clean energy and equal rights. Yova appeals to many customers because it is also actively excluding investments in companies that fuel worsening climate change or the weapons industry.
