MissionInvest B.V.

What MissionInvest B.V. does

MissionInvest B.V. is a Dutch private limited company (B.V.) headquartered in Houten, Netherlands, that operates as a relationship-based intermediary connecting Christian entrepreneurs, family offices, and foundations with philanthropic and impact-investing projects worldwide. Founded by Wim Hasselman, who brings over 20 years of experience in philanthropy and impact investing, the firm offers three core services: consultancy/advisory for NGOs, companies, and funds; fundraising facilitation matching vetted projects with suitable donors; and impact-investing intermediation for larger-scale investment opportunities offering modest financial returns (e.g., 3-5% interest on NUTS2 cashew financing, cumulative-preferred dividends for Truvalu). MissionInvest does not execute projects itself; instead, it matches investor missions with pre-vetted project organizations across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, emphasizing short communication lines and cost efficiency.

The underlying technology stack is essentially none — the company does not operate a proprietary software platform, application, or API. Distribution is entirely relationship-driven: a bilingual newsletter, a corporate website (mission-invest.com plus a separate mission-invest.org for the US market), personal referrals through Hasselman's network, and conference/event presence within the European Christian business community. Its customer base spans both supply (Christian NGOs, mission organizations, and faith-aligned enterprises seeking capital) and demand (wealthy Christian individuals, family offices, and foundations deploying capital) sides of the marketplace.

MissionInvest's revenue model is transaction-based, generated through successful facilitation of funding relationships rather than published fee schedules. Documented facilitation volume includes €7.5M for NUTS2 cashew processing (2019-2022), €6M equity for Landcent malaria prevention (2022-2023), €2.4M for the Truvalu agri-food portfolio (2021-2022) with a €2.5M round targeted for 2023, €1.35M for Landgoed De Parel acquisition (2019), and dozens of smaller donation and grant projects ranging from €18,000 to €500,000. The business is founder-led with a small team (1-5 people), no institutional investment, no public revenue disclosure, and no subsidiaries.

Direct peers

• Lendahand: Dutch-founded impact-investing crowdfunding platform that matches retail investors with entrepreneur projects in emerging markets, directly mirroring MissionInvest's intermediation of African/SME impact exposure for European investors.
• Stewardship: UK-based Christian giving, donation management, and grant facilitation service that channels funds from individuals and churches to Christian mission and humanitarian projects, closely matching MissionInvest's role as a Christian philanthropic intermediary.
• PlusPlus: Netherlands-based impact-investing marketplace that connects investors to small enterprises in developing countries via structured debt; comparable thesis and geography to MissionInvest's work with Truvalu and NUTS2.
• Mustard Seed Foundation: Faith-rooted foundation that supports faith-driven entrepreneurs and impact projects in underserved regions via grants and impact investments, structurally similar to MissionInvest's facilitation of Christian impact capital.

Broad incumbents

• Acumen: Global impact-investing organization funding scalable, early-stage social enterprises serving the poor; broader geographic and secular mandate but represents the institutional-end of the impact intermediation spectrum MissionInvest operates in.
• CCLA Investment Management: UK investment manager specialising in church, charity, and faith-aligned endowments; overlapping investor base with MissionInvest and a reference model for managing faith-mission-aligned capital at scale.
• Allchurches Trust: Established UK Christian grant-making trust distributing tens of millions to church and mission-related projects annually; operates at much larger scale than MissionInvest but serves the same Christian-project funding need.
• Charities Aid Foundation (CAF): Global philanthropy intermediary offering donor-advised funds, gift aid, and grantmaking services to individuals and charities; broader secular mandate but the dominant European comparison for cross-border charitable intermediation.
• Triodos Bank / Triodos Foundation: Netherlands-headquartered sustainable and impact bank and affiliated foundation that channels deposits into sustainable enterprises; addresses the same Dutch/European impact-investor pool MissionInvest taps.

Others

• World Relief: Christian humanitarian NGO active in many of the same African and Asian geographies as MissionInvest's project portfolio (e.g., Malawi, Bangladesh, Ethiopia); serves as a frequent project counterpart rather than a direct intermediary competitor.
