“God doesn’t need my success to advance His Kingdom— but He invites me to join Him in some absolutely amazing things.”
— Henry Kaestner Co-Founder Bandwidth, Sovereign’s Capital, Faith Driven Movements
At 17, Henry Kaestner caught the entrepreneurship bug: he made T-shirts for $5 and sold them for $10 on campus. The simple idea exploded within weeks—sales teams at 50 universities—until copyright lawsuits shut it down. The spark, however, never died.
After his conversion and a stint on Wall Street, Henry and best friend David Morgan founded Bandwidth. They saw a problem: small and mid-sized businesses in America lacked quality internet access. Their mission to serve the “small and unknown” grew into one of America’s fastest-growing tech companies. From 2003–2008 Bandwidth scaled organically from near zero to $85 million in revenue—with no outside funding.
Stepping back from day-to-day operations, Henry launched Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Faith Driven Investor to equip founders and investors worldwide to integrate faith and work—for “more Heaven on Earth,” as we like to say.
Alongside his role as investor at Sovereign’s Capital (≈ $1 billion AUM), Henry’s latest mission is “Solving the World’s Greatest Problems,” uniting entrepreneurs and investors around solutions to humanity’s biggest challenges—because, as he believes, we are all problem-solvers made in God’s image.
From €5 T-shirts to global movements that change the world—Henry’s story shows, authentically and inspiringly, what God can do through one fully surrendered life.
