Slush and Upright teamed up to answer: Are companies built today changing the world for the better or the worse? The Slush x Upright Impact Report is out, pushing beyond the typical "sustainability" checklist to explore what today's startups get done with the resources they use. Concretely, Upright analysed the science-based impact of six high-growth companies taking the stage at Slush this year — each bringing more to the world than just financial returns. Highlights: 🔎 Six diverse sectors included: LLMs (Anthropic), secondhand fashion (Vinted), financial services for IVF (Gaia), SaaS for healthcare (Commure), clean energy (Aira) and biobased chemicals (Solugen) – showing impact isn’t determined by industry or technology. 🔎 We explore both the positive and negative impacts each company creates across the environment, society, health and knowledge.
