About us
Most great companies are eventually sold. We help them choose otherwise.
Five kinds of work, all aimed at one outcome: that steward ownership becomes a normal, well-understood option for Baltic companies.
01
We publish the reference guides on steward ownership in the Baltics, starting with Estonian law and tax, in plain language and with sources.
02
We develop open templates, checklists and model clauses with practising lawyers, and publish them free of charge.
03
We guide founders and owners from a first conversation to signed articles of association, together with their own advisers.
04
We connect companies with advisers and investors who understand steward ownership, and owners with each other.
05
We brief policymakers and the press, collect data, and work for a simpler legal route in the Baltics and the EU.
06
We are a sihtasutus — a foundation with no owners. Nobody can sell us, and our assets serve only our purpose.
