Dee Coakley, does that resonate there where you can be faced with these choices around your values, your mission, and you have to make sacrifices?
2:05
Absolutely.

So Boundless, our business, which we founded back in 2019, we were acquired earlier this year by Payoneer.
2:15
Boundless is a compliance business.
2:18
We're a global employer of record.
2:20
So handle HR compliance, payroll and benefits for companies with cross-border workers.

And we were founded with the idea that we wanted to ensure that companies were being fully tax compliant, which is actually a very difficult thing for companies with workers overseas, and to ensure that workers were receiving all of the rights and benefits that they were entitled to in the territory that they live in.

And our thanks to all of those entrepreneurs and founders who sent in their voice notes this week to Reignite at orgy.ie. Dee Coakley, when you listen to those entrepreneurs, founders there, do you think it is harder for them to get funding, to get investment? Are there enough investments out there when it comes to companies doing social good, when it comes to tech for good?
9:35
Did you only have one co-founder?
9:37
At one point, I had two for a fairly brief period of time, had a third co-founder.
9:42
I started on my own and I was about six months in before those two co-founders joined me.
9:49
At that stage, it was very much idea stage.
9:52
I mean, that's what I love about building businesses.
9:54
I love to look back.
9:55
I always think this was just a blank page.
