Overview

Tulipshare operates a fintech platform that lets individuals across the UK invest as little as £1 to advocate for social and environmental changes at publicly traded companies by unifying shareholder rights and engaging directly with companies' IR teams. The platform currently runs four campaigns — pushing for a right-to-repair program at Apple, improving warehouse workers' rights at Amazon, urging Coca‑Cola to use 100% recycled packaging by 2030, and pressing JPMorgan to stop financing fossil fuels. Launched in July 2021 and London-based, Tulipshare combines retail voting power to influence boardroom decisions and proxy seasons, and accepts campaign suggestions from activists. The company recently closed a €9.5 million seed funding round and plans to scale headcount and accelerate international expansion. It intends to remote-hire over 20 roles across engineering, marketing, and compliance and has applied for registration as a broker-dealer in the US. The platform positions itself to increase transparency and ESG accountability at major corporations through coordinated shareholder activism. Tulipshare provides an activist investment platform that enables individuals to invest as little as £1 to own small pieces of influential companies trading on U.S. stock exchanges. The service curates socially responsible campaigns focused on issues where activists seek change, with initial campaigns covering Amazon workers' rights, Coca-Cola's plastic consumption and climate impact, and right-to-repair at Apple. The company is led by Founder and CEO Antoine Argouges and plans to add new causes regularly to mobilize budding activists. Tulipshare launched in the UK in July 2021 and has been regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority since April 2021. Financially, the platform has raised $1M in pre-seed funding to date. Tulipshare is looking to expand its service to the U.S. market.
