Investment Principles
Our promise
More than investors, we're partners
Sodexo Ventures provides partners with more than just capital. We provide them with decades of industry knowledge and the opportunity to leverage our international footprint, including 425,000 employees and 100 million consumers. We’re not focused on an exit strategy. We’re focused on building a long-lasting, and mutually-beneficial relationship.
Investment Principles
Safeguarding the independence of start-ups
Sodexo Ventures only engages in minority investments to preserve start-up agility. We don't ask for exclusivity or voting rights. We simply support growth. Start-ups are free to work with relevant clients and a dedicated business partner is appointed for each investment to advise and share expertise as often as needed.
Priority Investment Sectors
Our focus
Sodexo Ventures primarily engages in Series-A
We have priority investment targets but don't limit the scope of opportunities to those criteria.
