Oxford+ podcast: Founders Pledge

Posted on 21 July 2025

Ever wondered how to integrate meaningful philanthropy into your entrepreneurial journey? 

In this insightful episode of Oxford+, host Susannah de Jager sits down with Rob Chapman and Isobel Morton, Trustees of Founders Pledge, to explore innovative strategies for startup founders to effectively give back. Founders Pledge provides a structured, community-driven approach for entrepreneurs committed to donating a portion of their proceeds from liquidity events to charitable causes. 

Rob and Isobel share personal experiences and practical advice on utilising donor-advised funds, leveraging detailed impact research, and maximising the social impact of giving. With over $11 billion pledged globally, they discuss how entrepreneurs can make strategic, informed decisions to ensure their donations drive significant change. 

Whether you're at the early stages of your startup or approaching an exit, this conversation offers invaluable guidance on aligning business success with purposeful philanthropy.
