Sweetgreen was founded in 2007 by Jonathan Neman, Nicolas Jammet, and Nathaniel Ru. In an interview with The Street from November 2019, CEO Jonathan Neman noted, regarding an IPO, that “it's something that we're considering, but nothing in the near future.” These comments should not be interpreted to mean that the company is formally pursuing or foregoing an IPO.

The company has raised approximately $515 million in Venture Capital funding from investors including Revolution, Signatures Capital, Corstone Capital, T.
