Alexandre Mars Mission Possible

“Mission Possible” is Alexandre Mars’ motto when it comes to entrepreneurship.

Alexandre Mars is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, Founder and CEO of the investment firm Blisce and the Epic Foundation. Mars began his career as an entrepreneur at the age of 17. Fifteen years later, after tireless work to launch and develop successful start-ups, he sold his last two companies to Publicis and BlackBerry. However, creating tech companies was never his end goal. His entrepreneurial success allowed him to have enough financial security to fuel a much bigger social ambition that he has carried since his teenage years: to be of use to society. That’s why Alexandre decided to leverage his entrepreneurial skills, network, knowledge, wealth, and influence to scale his impact and contribute to a more just and fair society. To foster that mission, he created Epic in 2014, a global foundation that helps empower and protect children, youth, and our planet by bridging the gap between impactful nonprofits and individuals and businesses who want to advance positive change.

In 2019, the Harvard University Kennedy and Harvard Business schools published a joint case study on Epic, highlighting its innovative new model for social impact. Confident that the private sector also has a crucial role in making our society more sustainable, Alexandre Mars also founded Blisce, a leading B Corp investment firm committed to investing differently by reconciling economic, social, and environmental performance. Since its inception, Blisce has invested in companies such as Spotify, Pinterest, Too Good To Go, Headspace & Brut. Mars sits on the board of those last three. “Mission Possible” is Alexandre Mars’ motto when it comes to entrepreneurship.
