A special shoutout also to People Ventures and Dreamcraft Ventures for taking the lead on this round.

Our "walking trophy" left the Founderment nest today and is now docked at Shouter’s offices in Marselisborg Yacht Harbour. 

Our first graduate of the year, Shouter  secured a dazzling funding round in February so this was the right first stop for the trophy.

Need a hand with moving, a splash of color on your walls, or a spick-and-span space? Shouter got you covered with top-notch talent for any job. Just download the app, shout your first task, and help will be on its way!

As 2024 unfolds, the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) conversation is set to undergo significant changes as sustainability continues to weave its threads more deeply into everyday business practices. But why does adopting ESG principles seem to be a slower process in the startup space? Inherently agile and disruptive startups are ideally positioned to revolutionize prevailing norms - from reshaping workplace cultures and lifestyles to innovating across product categories, production methods, and overall business operations. This freedom to operate should inherently be paired with a commitment to cultivating businesses that are not only thoughtful and fair but also inclusive and environmentally mindful.

At Founderment, we fully recognize ESG's complexities - the language, legal framework, guidelines, and guardrails that must be followed to adhere to this. Let's be honest: we struggle with all this ourselves, but as early-stage investors, we believe it's imperative to push ESG thinking onto the radar of our startups, and one of the best ways to do so is to foster an active dialogue around these crucial topics with and among founders. 

At our recent founders gathering, we explored ESG's role in early-stage startups and gained valuable insights. Our discussions went beyond viewing ESG merely as a matter of compliance. Instead, we focused on harnessing the compliance aspects of ESG as a stepping stone to reinforce a company's core strengths. This approach has been effectively implemented and exemplified by our portfolio company, Sentispec.
