Investment thesis
Nesta is a UK innovation organization pursuing three long-term missions: a fairer start giving every child the best chance in life, a healthy life helping people live longer and healthier, and a sustainable future supporting the transition to a greener economy. It applies innovation methods such as mission-oriented discovery, policy work, and a mission studio to achieve social impact at scale rather than operating as a conventional financial investor.
