What we do
Flagship Founders is a company builder with a focus on maritime technology, logistics and shipping.
While all major parts of global supply chains are making substantial progress in the use of digital technologies, a central and interconnected sector is transforming rather slowly: The shipping industry, responsible for the transport of 90% of all goods worldwide. It is undisputed that it is time for change for shipping, maritime technology and logistics and we at Flagship Founders will drive the change.
We aim at bringing cutting edge technology and innovation to the logistics and shipping industry by empowering startup founders to create world-class companies. Our startups have scalable business models, a true value creation and a focus on actual problems. The Flagship Founders team consists of experienced entrepreneurs, investors and shipping experts to support our startup founders in all entrepreneurial areas.
EXPERIENCE
We have built successful startups in the past, and we will continue to do so. We are digital and love digital products.
NETWORK
We partner with innovative shipping companies and provide shipping networks and insights. We enable both: Access to venture capital as well as access to investors in shipping.
FOUNDING SUPPORT
We focus on our startup founders and the setup for excellent venture building. We support the complete evolution of a company.
Who we are
We connect the best of two worlds: Shipping and Digitalisation.
Both parts are part of our DNA, equal and essential.
