Sven Stenvers
Founding Director
After a 15 year background in tech, telecommunications and clean energy startups, Sven exited his renewable energy venture in 2011. He enjoys growing something out of nothing, and his inspiration in founding Impact Seed was through the discovery that WA's startup, innovation and investment landscape in 2013 was overtly tech-centric, one in which you were identified as “either a business, or a social enterprise, not both”. He wanted to help grow a new vibrant social enterprise and impact investment ecosystem in WA, and his work and passion is now focused on growing the new economy - where financial, social, environmental and community benefit is inextricably linked.
