Mike Brown
Founder & CEO
A lifelong entrepreneur, Mike founded Impact Grove to serve his fellow entrepreneurs to reimagine their businesses as a force for good. A natural optimist, Mike believes that the vast majority of business leaders intend to do good, create jobs, and contribute to their community.
He has experienced and observed that most entrepreneurs struggle to fully integrate purpose and meaning into their business models. They instead attempt to make money first, then give back to charitable organizations second. Why not make a positive impact in the process of making money? Mike is able to guide forward-thinking companies to join the Beneficial Impact Capitalism movement.
Mike's two decades of experience as an entrepreneur, executive, board member, and mentor gives him real-world perspective that differentiates him from many consultants. His education from Chapman University (2006) & Harvard Business School (2022) informs him to effectively consult with entrepreneurs to dramatically improve their businesses and lives.
