Eka’s 100th newsletter!
Issue 100 🎉 l Eka’s Weekly Roundup (3 December 2024)
We’re marking the 100th edition of our weekly.
We’re showcasing ten of the UK’s top consumer-facing brands focussed on sustainability & health which are growing revenues very rapidly from a good base of scale. These have all been incorporated post 2016 and are true movers and shakers within our thesis areas. A lot of them are also in our portfolio.
We’re always on the look out for the next generational company and know that there are many more companies which are scaling incredibly quickly, innovating in sustainability & health, and led by outlier founders.
Did we miss you from our list? Get in touch, we’ll be publishing more soon.
As ever, please reach out if you’d like us to cover certain topics in the new year or if you’re just keen to chat about Impact 👋
