Blake Mycoskie, who founded Toms Shoes in 2006, is looking for investors to take over his company, which may be worth as much as $600 million in spite of its generous “one for one” donations of shoes and eyewear, according to the Financial Times. The goal is to make the company grow faster. Toms had an estimated turnover of around $250 million in 2013, and one-third of that came through its own website. Most of the shoes are made in China, but Mycoskie recently said that he wants one-third of the shoes made in Haiti and other countries where it carries out its donation programs
