About Morgan Stanley Inclusive & Sustainable Ventures (MSISV)

  1. Two Accelerator Programs

    Morgan Stanley Inclusive & Sustainable Ventures (MSISV) includes two in-house accelerator programs—a Lab designed for startup founders and a Collaborative to support emerging nonprofits.

  2. Access to Capital

    Morgan Stanley will provide participating Lab companies with an equity investment, a five-month curated program, mentorship, networking, office space for the duration of the program and access to certain external advisors. The equity investment is $250,000 for each company participating in our New York-based program and £250,000 for each company participating in our London-based program. Each participating Collaborative nonprofit will receive a $250,000 grant if based in the Americas, £250,000 for all other regions and access to the same program content as the Lab.

  3. Powerful Networks

    We introduce commercial startups and emerging nonprofits to our bankers, financial advisors, technology experts and others who can connect each organization to their industry networks. We also support their access to the broader investor ecosystem.

  4. Mentoring and More

    Morgan Stanley pairs each organization with hand-picked mentors, entrepreneurs in residence and advisors who provide counsel and coaching to help each company and nonprofit grow and scale.

Morgan Stanley Inclusive & Sustainable Ventures leverages our integrated firm approach and deep expertise to better serve the needs of visionary early-stage founders, startups and organizations as they work to scale their impact.
