Our Story
About What We Do & How We Got Here
We started in 2018 with the knowledge that private investors have historically fallen into two categories: People trying to make as much money as possible (usually at the expense of SME’s and individual beneficiaries), and people trying to make the world a better place.
We thought why can’t you have both? Deliver value to all stakeholders, not just investors, business owners, taking care of employees, vendors, and customers alike. Pursuing a social mission for us is a core pillar when interfacing with both customers and investors not at the sacrifice of growth and returns,
We believe that this is fast becoming the trend and Nest is on the forefront. It’s a good place to be. We’ve engaged with like-minded investors and entrepreneurs who were attracted to both our mission and our approach.
Nest is synonymous with Growth and at Nest it’s an essential part of success. In order to build a better society we start by working those the need it the most with the aim that our impact investments would take them higher than the status quo.
