Oh ffs, why do I even look into these things? I think I’m being harsh and then it’s always worse than I thought:
FairPhone has taken venture capital.
https://www.fairphone.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Crowd-Notification.pdf
They’ve been invested in by, among others, Invest-NL (currently three exits, all IPOs¹) and Quadia (also three exits, all acquisitions²).
I would just like it if for once – fucking once – it wasn’t just about making money.
*sigh*
