🌟 Supporting founders means celebrating wins AND fighting for change! Our Founder Enablement Partner, Nico Blier-Silvestri, has shared an inspiring update about the recent progress on founder taxation in Denmark 🚀 While the recent announcement of the change in taxation for founders/entrepreneurs, with a 7 years retroactive effect, is a step forward, there is still work to be done — particularly around unfair warrant taxation, which continues to impact many early stage employees. It is great to see members of our ecosystem pushing for a better environment for founders to build their companies. These changes help Denmark stay competitive globally in attracting and retaining founders and operators. ➡️ Read Nico's full perspective in his post - find the link in the comments #startups #founders #FounderEnablement
