The Nest is a Belgian family office investing in the future of food. We are driven to create a healthy and fair world for generations to come. Learn more about our impact philosophy.
Investments
We invest in companies and funds that are creating a more resilient food system.
Foundation
We provide support to initiatives that get the flywheel going.
We are partners.
While other firms invest in deals and talk about exits, we invest in people and talk about partnerships. Our relationships endure.
We are pragmatic.
It is never going to be perfect. A small improvement on a large scale can have more impact than a large improvement on a small scale.
We are decisive.
We make rapid, informed decisions. We are direct with a hint of impatience. Some may not like it. We think it helps us to push forward.
The Team
Our team mirrors the people we partner with: challengers at heart driven by a sense of urgency, a deeply ingrained need to do good, and a passion for healthy food.
