Board Member Peaks
Sep 2017
The Peaks app is the easiest way to set money aside and start investing. Peaks was created in 2016 with the goal of making it possible for anybody to invest and attain financial freedom. Not just those who follow the stock market and read The Financial Times. We believe that everyone with a bank account, a little money and some patience, can start investing.
At Peaks you can invest as little as €1. And to make setting money aside as easy and effortless as possible, you can even invest the spare change from your bank transactions. So if you buy groceries for €9.20, you automatically set aside €0.80, which we deposit into your investment account. In time, these small and regular amounts build into a sizeable investment. Giving you the opportunity to attain financial independence while barely lifting a finger.
Investing can be complicated, but not at Peaks. We take achieving a sustainable future seriously, so at Peaks you can only invest in sustainable ETFs. You only invest in the most sustainable companies in their industry and never invest in harmful industries, such as the weapons, coal mining or tobacco industry.
Do you care about sustainable investing and helping people achieve financial freedom? And do you want to help scale up an innovative investment app, together with 50 talented and ambitious colleagues? Send us an email at recruitment@peaks.com and let us know!

De coöperatie WeHelpen
Het begin
Het verhaal van WeHelpen begint klein. Bij Maaike en Coen, en bij Arjan. Maaike herstellend van borstkanker. Coen revaliderend na hersenletsel. Veel kunnen ze nog niet, maar beide hebben ze het gevoel dat ze iets voor anderen kunnen betekenen. Via Twitter vinden
ze elkaar, tijdens hun gesprekken ontstaat het idee. In een andere hoek van het land realiseert Arjan zich dat zijn moeder, die al jarenlang MS heeft, zelden om hulp vraagt. En dat zijn vader, al die tijd haar mantelzorger, dat ook niet doet.
Maaike, Coen en Arjan merken in gesprekken met hun omgeving dat wanneer je het vragen om en het bieden van hulp eenvoudig maakt, mensen zeker bereid zijn dat ook te doen. Zij ontdekken dat er overal in het land mensen zijn die graag voor een ander klaarstaan of
die juist zelf een helpende hand kunnen gebruiken. Die ontdekking vormt het begin van WeHelpen.
De coöperatie
Tegelijkertijd buigen Achmea, CZ, PGGM, Rabobank, Menzis en VitaValley zich over de grote maatschappelijke vraagstukken van de toekomst. Ook zij realiseren zich dat de vraag naar informele zorg – zoals mantelzorg, nabuurschap en vrijwilligerswerk – verder zal toenemen en dat het belang om ze te ondersteunen steeds groter zal worden. Samen met Maaike, Coen en Arjan slaan ze de handen ineen: de coöperatie WeHelpen is geboren.
De beweging
Dat was in 2012. Inmiddels is WeHelpen uitgegroeid tot een beweging van, voor en door mensen. Gemeenten, welzijnsorganisaties, woningcorporaties, zorgverzekeraars, koepelorganisaties en een academisch ziekenhuis hebben zich aangesloten. Via het online platform wehelpen.nl komen mensen met elkaar in contact. Zo reikt WeHelpen tot in alle uithoeken van het land, dwars door alle lagen van de bevolking heen. En dat alles vanuit de gedachte dat nabuurschap en buren- hulp eigenlijk heel gewoon zijn.
