About Spin Venture
Spin Ventures was set-up with a mission to accelerate the transition towards a circular economy in the consumer sector. We understand that the transition to a circular economy is a complex and multifaceted challenge that requires a holistic approach, that’s why we strive to create an ecosystem designed to make things happen by bringing together start-ups founders, corporations and investors. We are all about circularity. Our unique and interconnected ecosystem includes a venture accelerator, a venture fund, and a consulting unit, all working together to create real change. As the "house of circularity," we're dedicated to making things happen and accelerating the shift towards a more sustainable future.
