Introducing Mustard Seed: A New Approach to Impact Investing
In a world where the need for positive change is becoming increasingly crucial, Mustard Seed emerges as a revolutionary investment firm that actively looks for, invests in, and supports young social business startups. Founded in 2014 by Alex Pitt and Henry Wigan, former classmates turned colleagues, Mustard Seed is based in London and specializes in Investment Management. The company's unique approach, known as "lock-step," aims to bridge the gap between the rising appetite for entrepreneurship among talented graduates and the critical lack of seed capital to match.
Mustard Seed's primary focus is on startups with the potential to generate commercial returns alongside significant and sustainable positive outcomes in the areas of environmental sustainability, education, family and community, health, and economic inclusion. By supporting entrepreneurs who want to push traditional boundaries in business, Mustard Seed hopes to grow businesses that fill gaps currently unaddressed by government and industry, ultimately enabling young startups to turn into world-class businesses.
As an early-stage investor, Mustard Seed takes the long view, combining its Member Network, Venture Fund, and events at many of the world's leading universities for a new and robust approach to making sure the best ventures get off the ground and soar. This innovative strategy has positioned Mustard Seed as a leader in the impact investing space, attracting attention from investors and entrepreneurs alike.
The founders, Alex Pitt and Henry Wigan, first met at the London School of Economics before working together at Goldman Sachs in the UK, USA, and Middle East. Recognizing the potential for social and environmental impact in the business world, they co-founded Mustard Seed to enable social enterprise and empower entrepreneurs who want to make a meaningful difference.
With a growing portfolio of successful ventures, Mustard Seed continues to make headlines and establish itself as a key player in the impact investing space.
