ENVISION
A Positive Outlook on Our Collective Future
Our planet and its populations are facing the challenges of unbridled growth in population, industrialisation, pollution, food production, inequality and resource depletion. The results of "unlimited" growth are evident: changes in our climate, the loss of ecosystems and biodiversity, the degradation of natural capital and water scarcity.
The transition to a more sustainable economic model is both necessary and possible. At Espera, we believe that prosperity and purpose are not mutually exclusive: rather, they can and should work to reinforce each other within human and ecological boundaries.
Our Purpose
The transition to a sustainable economy presents a world of opportunity for a change-makers, innovators and entrepreneurs. Espera Ventures supports this movement by investing in and nurturing businesses that confront social and environmental challenges with unique and innovative business models, disruptive processes and technology.
Our Focus
Our emphasis is on scalable, sustainable businesses in the early to growth stages that support one or a combination of sustainable development goals, have proven their unique business model as a concept and can demonstrate growing market acceptance for their products or services. Our Approach
We invest collaboratively in order to generate both positive social and environmental impact and financial returns at market or better, co-creating new market possibilities along with our entrepreneurs, our partners and investors.
