A 2-year taste of the office was enough to make 3 grads quit. Now they run a $13.2 billion investment firm: ‘We didn’t want a traditional job again’
Three graduates, Chris Hulatt, Simon Rogerson, and Guy Myles, left a corporate grad program to launch Octopus Investments in 2000 with $25,000. Despite initial challenges, they raised $2 million and grew the firm into a $13.2 billion investment company focused on climate, quality of life, and inequality. Octopus Group, its parent company, now includes Octopus Energy and serves 11.3 million customers.
