Investment thesis
Small Giants was founded on the belief that the economic system should work better for everyone and that business can be a force for good. The firm invests in and supports organisations across sustainable property, regenerative agriculture, renewable energy, circular economy, and social and environmental activism, favouring initiatives that challenge the status quo and reimagine a more empathetic and regenerative economy. As Australia's first B Corp (2012), it aligns capital with values, and through Small Giants Academy it develops leaders equipped to lead for a better future.
