OpenOcean’s ESG and Responsible Investment Policy

We believe that ESG is crucial for us to succeed in our mission. Teams that promote corporate responsibility, are serious about diversity, and take good care of their employees deliver superior results for investors.

For many years we’ve had an ESG and Responsible Investment Policy and today we’re making it public on our website. By doing this we’re hoping to increase transparency, while simultaneously signalling to our network the importance of ESG and Sustainable Finance for success and long-term value creation.

Twenty-five years ago, I could have written that same sentence and replaced “AI” with “the Web,” and forty years ago, “the personal computer.” This is not an article about needing to use Claude or other agentic AI tools; that is something you should be doing already. In this case, I’m talking about a fundamental restructuring of how software gets built and deployed.

What founders get wrong about speed and scale

What founders get wrong about speed and scale

Every founder faces the same question: how fast should you go? In conversation with our Venture Partner, Duleepa “Dups” Wijayawardhana, we explored why so many startups struggle to balance speed, quality and scale, and how to get it right (at least most of the time). As Dups puts it, for every rule there is an exception, and for every exception there is something to learn.
