#374 Inc500 Fastest Growing Companies in America (2021): How to Invest with a Purpose with Ivan Anz, Founder of Equity and Help Inc.

Hello everyone and welcome back to CEO Secrets. Our special guest for today is a global entrepreneur, speaker, author, and the Founder of PhilanthroInvesting. His company landed a spot on the Inc Top 500 list of fastest-growing businesses in the country for 3 consecutive years. This year, his company achieved a 1,285% growth securing the 374th spot on the list. Let’s welcome to the show, the Founder of Equity & Help, Ivan Anz.

Ivan developed his entrepreneurial skills at a very young age.  At 7 years old, he used to lease his Go-Kart to his friends and neighbors.  At 14, he started leasing and training people on how to use 4x4’s on mountains.  He sold a million dollars worth of Herbalife products annually, making him the youngest person to make it to the millionaire’s team.

He eventually ventured into real estate. He also got involved in speculative investments like stocks, forex, and cryptocurrency.  However, even as he was earning a lot of money then, he felt that there was no sense of fulfillment in what he’s doing.  So in 2009, he started to look for ways not just to invest but to invest with a purpose.

Then one day, he met a buyer who really wanted to purchase a property but was unable to afford it. It’s a sad reality that a lot of people still don’t have access to traditional mortgages. He realized that this was an opportunity for investing while helping a deserving family at the same time.  That’s when the concept of philanthroinvesting was born.

Today, Ivan is the Founder of Equity & Help, a real estate investment company that aims to help investors achieve their financial goals while making a real difference in people’s lives.

Let us hear from Ivan as he shares his journey on how he started his business and how he helped it grow its revenue by 14,000% in just 3 years.
