DGAM Foundation
Backing Researchers and Entrepreneurs
The DGAM Foundation supports entrepreneurs, researchers, and agents of change in building a regenerative and more inclusive tomorrow.
Founded by Partners at DGAM, the foundation exists to push the frontiers of impact, empower the entire DGAM ecosystem to give back to society in meaningful ways, and safeguard the DGAM Values.
DGAM Foundation is a catalytic investor
and grant maker
DGAM Foundation is an independent charitable foundation, founded during DGAM's 2019 stock exchange listing.
When DGAM’s core group of partners founded the DGAM Foundation, the ambition and motive were clear: to act as an eternal steward of the culture and values of DGAM and to make a positive impact.
The DGAM Foundation is a long-term shareholder in DGAM and uses dividends and donations to support entrepreneurs, researchers, and agents of change. Cultural safeguarding is about transferring knowledge, behavior, and attitude — acting and leading according to the core values, and promoting great cultural ambassadors across the firm. The DGAM Foundation acts as a guardian of DGAM’s values and governance model, and engages employees in its contributions to society.
Programs
Combining catalytic capital with expertise from DGAM Foundation.
Science
Many scientists at the frontiers of impact fail to reach commercialization due to early-stage funding gaps. Our DGAM Foundation-funded grants address this by supporting researchers before company formation, while technologies are still being validated in the lab.
Startups
Our investment arm, the DGAM Foundation Fund, makes catalytic investments in impact-driven startups, supporting entrepreneurs from lab stage to first commercial demonstration. We invest flexibly and strategically, with a long-term approach and the ability to join through various structures, including bridge rounds.
Scale
Our scale grants support individuals and organizations to agents of change working to close the capital gaps and overcome barriers for scientific progress to reach its impact potential.
“Our informal KPI is the pursuit of ‘collective goosebumps’. It’s that spark of possibility when we see how an innovation could connect with the DGAM platform, how the right expertise, capital or network could accelerate its path to impact”
