We're Changing Capitalism

Prior to founding YourStake, co-founders Gabe Rissman and Patrick Reed met as student environmental advocates at Yale, working to persuade the endowment to shift away from fossil fuel investments. With his student club, Gabe became the first student to file a shareholder resolution, asking ExxonMobil to cease donations to climate deniers, which succeeded in the subsequent year. YourStake is registered as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). As a PBC, our social mission, to catalyze sustainable investing, is part of our legal mandate in our articles of incorporation.
