After expanding to New York and Boston this year, Sweetgreen has again raised its national profile. Founded by two Georgetown alumni in 2007, the salad chain will receive a $22 million investment from venture capital firm Revolution Growth, the firm announced Wednesday. Revolution Growth, also based in Washington D.C. and founded by former AOL Time Warner Chairman Steve Case, former Exclusive Resorts CEO Donn Davis and Monumental Sports & Entertainment founder, Chairman and Majority Owner Ted Leonsis (CAS ’77), has thus far concentrated its investments in the tech industry, investing in startups such as Living Social and Zipcar. Sweetgreen marks Revolution Growth’s first investment in the restaurant industry. Nicolas Jammet (MSB ’07), Jonathan Neman (MSB ’07) and Nathaniel Ru (MSB ’07) opened their first location on M Street in Georgetown shortly after graduating. Two years later in 2009, the trio opened a location in Dupont Circle before quickly expanding up the eastern seaboard; Sweetgreen now operates 22 storefronts.
