Gexsi

Gexsi, known under the name "Global Exchange for Social Investment," is a purpose-driven search engine that aims to positively change the world through the daily searches of its users.

Gexsi works like any other search engine, but with one crucial difference: The revenue generated from advertising and affiliate marketing partnerships goes directly to supporting innovative social projects and initiatives[1][3][4].

The mission of Gexsi is to empower users to make the world more sustainable, fair, and friendly with every search query. The company is designed as a social enterprise, with 100% of profits remaining within a non-profit context. Gexsi is foundation-owned and part of the Good Impact Foundation, which ensures complete transparency regarding the flow of funds and the support of projects. Gexsi is also a certified B Corporation and is committed to climate protection through the use of CO2-neutral web servers[1][2][3].

Gexsi supports projects that contribute to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The company selects a new project every two weeks to feature on the website, showing users how their searches can bring about positive change. These projects often have a strong focus on innovative, scalable ideas that achieve long-term and sustainable impacts. Gexsi also embraces the concept of "helping people to help themselves" and supports social enterprises that provide villages in Africa with drinking water[1][4].

Gexsi places great importance on user privacy. By using Gexsi, users reduce their digital footprint, and the company adheres to high data protection standards in Germany and Europe. Gexsi has no access to users' search queries, which protects the privacy of users[1].

Gexsi was founded in 2016 by David Diallo, Kevin Fuchs, and Andreas Renner and launched an early beta version in May 2018. The company has its roots in the sustainable corporate culture of Freiburg and works closely with the Social Innovation Lab. The Gexsi team consists of experienced social entrepreneurs and digital experts committed to positive change[2][3].

Gexsi offers a meaningful alternative to traditional search engines, allowing users to do good every day without having to spend additional time or money. By using Gexsi, users contribute to creating a better world, a world that is more sustainable, fairer, and friendlier.
