Stakeholderz Acquires Earth Capital Brand and Earth Dividend® Model

London, 22 January 2025 — Stakeholderz, the leading fundraising and M&A advisory firm specialising in supporting sustainability-driven businesses in the private markets, has announced the acquisition of the Earth Capital name and its pioneering Earth Dividend® model.

This strategic development marks a significant step forward in Stakeholderz’ mission to support innovative, growth-stage companies addressing global sustainability challenges. The Earth Capital brand has been synonymous with investing in and promoting sustainability-driven businesses since its inception in 2008 and Stakeholderz is therefore also announcing today the rebranding of its group name to Earth Capital.

The business intends to leverage both the Earth Capital and Stakeholderz brands in its overall activities, with Earth Capital being used for all the group’s advisory services, while the Stakeholderz Syndicate – the award-winning angel network of (U)HNW and Sophisticated Investors – will continue under its existing name.

We are thrilled to hand over the Earth Capital brand to Stakeholderz as they take the business forward to create meaningful impact within the sustainability ecosystem,” said Earth Capital Holdings co-founder Gordon Power.

The award-winning Earth Dividend® model – which provides a holistic overview of a business’s contribution to sustainable development, ensuring continuous performance improvement – will continue to serve as a key advisory tool, enabling clients to accelerate positive change and drive measurable sustainability outcomes.

Gordon Power will join the team as a member of the newly established Earth Capital Advisory Board, offering his invaluable expertise and helping to ensure a seamless transition during this important new chapter.

This is a really exciting inflection point for the business,” said Stakeholderz Director, Robert Timms. “We’re strengthening our advisory offering with the Earth Dividend® model, and benefiting significantly from Gordon’s experience with Earth Capital and his wider investment expertise – the team are delighted to be working with him.”

This acquisition represents a key milestone,” said Salvatore D’Urso, Director at Stakeholderz. “By incorporating the Earth Dividend® into our advisory framework, we are taking a significant step toward aligning sustainability with measurable outcomes. This enhances our ability to support businesses driving change and to deliver impactful value across the sustainability ecosystem.”
