“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.




Problem-solver identity – entrepreneurs are
God-designed “problem solvers”






Tithe 2.0 – a 90 % giving ratio is possible
when head, heart & wallet align




Spiritual Integration Plan – faith roadmap
as a due-diligence criterion for investors




AI optimism – AI frees space for creative
Kingdom jobs instead of mass unemployment




Triple conversion – faith grows from head
heart wallet




Battle-cry mindset – business as part of the
spiritual battle for “more Heaven on Earth”
