A Shared Mission

• As a non profit, the Purpose Foundation works to make steward-ownership globally known and accessible through advocacy, research and education. The mission is made possible and is amplified through the support of and collaboration with the steward-owned Purpose entities directly working with companies, investors and a variety of other stakeholders:

• Purpose Consulting globally accompanies entrepreneurs and founders toward custom-tailored ownership and governance structures for their companies – from founding to succession, aligned financing and beyond.

• Purpose Ventures helps the next generation of founders build profitable, steward-owned businesses with purpose-aligned capital – bringing their values, mission, and ownership into harmony while mobilizing more investment for steward-owned companies

• Purpose Evergreen Capital offers patient, value-aligned capital to small and medium-sized enterprises helping businesses stay independent and true to their values with steward-ownership.

• The Purpose Veto Share enables companies to legally safeguard the principles of steward-ownership (currently only available in Germany and Switzerland). The veto share solution was developed to simplify the legal implementation of steward-ownership for companies today.

• In addition, there are regional affiliated Purpose Partners who operate under the Purpose brand (Purpose Switzerland, Purpose Latam, Purpose US), as well as regional changemakers with whom we closely collaborate to advance steward-ownership.
