About InvestAcure, PBC

InvestAcure is a Public Benefit Corporation, with a vision to see a world where drug companies are owned by millions of spare change investors committed to curing Alzheimer’s. To realize this goal, the company is building a spare change investment platform to enable those impacted by Alzheimer's to partner in the search for a cure by rounding-up day-to-day transactions and investing the spare change in clinical stage pharmaceuticals working on promising drugs. This would help transition investment leadership from a narrow group of profit-driven investors to a much larger and stable investor base motivated primarily by the search for a cure, leading to more clinical trials, more drugs and drug combinations tested and progress to a cure.
