Our story
Breathe was founded at the start of 2020
Breathe 2020 to 2023
On a quest for a healthier business environment
By Roland Slot's initiative, the founding team of eight was formed around a shared ambition to inspire lasting change at the level of the system. The team spent 2020 developing the concept, building community traction and raising capital from a group of aligned investors.
Towards the end of 2020, Breathe was established as an open business-building platform to innovate greater alignment of company purpose, governance, capitalisation, culture and structure.
For the founding team members, Breathe was a transformative experience leading to personal insights, shifting priorities and sprouting new purposeful initiatives.
Breathe from H2 2023 onwards
Towards the second half of 2023, Breathe itself was in for a transformation
While Breathe had substantially impacted the companies it founded or helped transform, it had yet to develop a financially sustainable business model. The team decided it was prudent to settle financially with the investors and continue Breathe in a lighter, independent form.
