NEW YORK -- Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) announced the global cohort of its Inclusive & Sustainable Ventures (MSISV). With founders from the Americas and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), the 2025 MSISV cohort will support 29 startups in its Lab and four emerging nonprofits in its Collaborative, two in-house accelerators that will run over the next five months.

Selected from thousands of applications, the 33 organizations will engage in a tailored entrepreneurship curriculum and receive mentorship and business-growth resources from Morgan Stanley’s ecosystem of internal and external partners. The firm will invest $250,000 (£250,000 in EMEA) in each startup and provide each nonprofit with a $250,000 grant.

“Morgan Stanley Inclusive & Sustainable Ventures brings the integrated power of our firm to support early-stage innovators in today’s dynamic venture capital environment,” said Jessica Alsford, Morgan Stanley Chief Sustainability Officer. “We are proud to back this global cohort of changemakers that are delivering scalable solutions to a range of pressing business and societal challenges.”

Startups in the 2025 MSISV cohort are providing technology and AI-driven solutions in sectors including healthcare, transportation, manufacturing and accounting. In addition, many are addressing sustainability challenges such as waste reduction, extreme weather and emissions. Following the five-month accelerator program, startups in the Lab will present at a global showcase and demo day in February 2026.

Companies in the 2025 Lab cohort are: Airpals (US), Bump (US), BuuPass (Kenya), Care Hero (US), Citera (Canada), CLIMADA Technologies (Switzerland), COUNT (US), Cytochroma (UK), Danu Robotics (UK), Envisionit Deep AI (UK), Fabrico (Bulgaria), FastVisa (US), Femly (US), Fitnescity Health (US), Hamperapp (US), InsideOut (UK), Mimicrete (UK), Moodbit (US), Motics (UK), Pirta (US), Plan Your Baby (UK), ReBokeh (US), RightMatch AI (US), Rivet (US), S.Lab (Spain), Social Good Software (US), Tuli Health (UK), Uvera (Saudi Arabia), Zuri Health (UK).

Four nonprofits have been selected for the 2025 Collaborative cohort: Caring Africa (Nigeria), LightEd Impact Foundation (Nigeria), Pelebox (South Africa), SolarAPP Foundation (US). These organizations are bringing scalable solutions to address issues including caregiving, access to medication and affordable clean energy.

MSISV builds on the success of the firm’s previous Inclusive Ventures Group and Sustainable Solutions Collaborative initiatives. Together, MSISV’s legacy accelerators have distributed over $30M in capital to 100+ startups and organizations in the last eight years.
