This nomination recognises startups that have built outstanding workplace cultures, where employees feel valued, empowered, and inspired to thrive. For Foundervine, it’s a celebration of the people-first environment the organisation has been nurturing since its inception in 2018.
“At Foundervine, we believe a great workplace is built on trust, collaboration, and a shared vision for impact,” said Cecil Adjalo, COO at Foundervine. “We don’t just talk about inclusion and innovation—we live it every day. This nomination is a reflection of the incredible culture we’ve built together.”
Foundervine’s workplace stands out for its values-led approach, rooted in Impact, Inclusion, Innovation, Courage, Integrity, and Action. From peer-nominated Encore Awards and the Foundervine Champions initiative, to regular well-being check-ins, career development conversations, and Deliveroo Wednesdays, the company’s internal programmes foster connection, personal growth, and a strong sense of belonging.
“Growth at Foundervine isn’t just for the entrepreneurs we support—it’s for every member of our team,” said Amina Essaid, Head of People. “Our leaders invest in the well-being and development of every individual. We’re building more than a workplace—we’re building a community.”
Transparency and communication are also key to Foundervine’s culture. Monthly pulse surveys, Wednesday Coffee Chats with leadership, and an open-door policy ensure that every team member has a voice and a platform.
With hybrid teams based in London and Ghana, Foundervine continues to demonstrate how inclusive leadership, collaborative values, and a bold vision for social impact can shape the future of work.
The 2025 SeedLegals Startup Awards will take place on 14 May 2025, recognising the UK’s most pioneering startups.
