Hero is on a mission to empower people to accelerate change in the world through their platform that gives citizens and companies the chance to directly fund, support and connect with climate mobilizers – activists and advocates around the world. Many of these climate mobilizers devote their time to instigating change, but are often not recognized nor financially compensated for their efforts and are at risk of burnout as a result. HERO wants to empower the next 10,000 climate campaigners with a stable monthly income, paving their way from local action to global impact.
“The HERO team stood out for Rubio in this first edition of Rubio’s People Power Pitch. HERO aims for a potential systemic change in how we empower activists from around the world to impact policy for a better climate. They have an innovative, commercial, scalable approach and we are excited to support them in their growth ambitions – this is just the start” Ilonka Jankovich, Partner leading the People Power team at Rubio.
