byFounders believes that superior financial returns come from investing in companies contributing to a better tomorrow. As an impact-aware fund, they strike a balance between pure impact and responsible investing by backing founders who demonstrate commitment to running their business responsibly (integrating ESG considerations) and building products/services with positive social and/or environmental impact. They are founders at heart, emphasizing transparency, partnership, and operational support over financial control.
