Who is behind all this?
The Purpose Foundation, founded in 2015, is part of the broader Purpose Group that spreads the word about steward-ownership, helps to raise capital for steward-ownership aligned investments or helps companies to transition through consulting activities.
Since the Purpose Foundation first defined and named the steward-ownership model in 2016, we have dedicated all our work to making this corporate model more accessible – by inspiring, enabling, and supporting entrepreneurs, investors, and other key players on their journey to steward-ownership.
Although steward-ownership is already far more widely spread than a few years ago, the path towards it is still hilly. All our activities aim at breaking down the three main barriers to steward-ownership, making it accessible to everyone.
A Team of Various Entities
PURPOSE is best viewed as a group of various entities that are in constant exchange, cross-pollinating one another, learning from each other, connecting the dots, and gathering the knowledge they generate together. We are deeply grateful for the work of our close partners at Purpose Ventures, Purpose Consulting, and Purpose Evergreen Capital, without whose knowledge and experience, our non-profit work would not be possible. The same goes for all the forerunner examples and frontrunner organisations, the companies, investors, legal advisers, consultants, scientists, and many more.
These organizations and many more are a part of the growing steward-ownership ecosystem.
