Company mission
Tumelo aims to make changes to the investor voting system that will enable shareholders to have a voice on the issues they care about – a critical factor in achieving true shareholder democracy.
Our take
Tumelo's APIs and white-label software shows investors which companies their money is being invested in, and gives them a voice on the issues that matter most to them - from CEO pay to board diversity and climate change. Vote preferences collected from investors are sent to fund managers, who control the power to create change through voting at company AGMs.
For investment platforms and pension providers, Tumelo says its technology strengthens investor loyalty, drives increased AUM and retention, and can win large workplace pension accounts where financial wellbeing is paramount.
By harnessing the prominence of well-known brands and real-life ESG issues, Tumelo’s platform is reforming how customers engage with their investments. Investing is a very powerful, yet underappreciated, way for most individuals to have a positive impact on their future. By re-connecting individuals with their savings and working closely with the experts who steward these funds, Tumelo is aiming to improve individual financial outcomes and build a more value-backed investment industry.
The company has already established relationships with 17 leading investment platforms and 75 fund managers in the UK. Recent funding will be used to build more partnerships and to expand into the US and Australia.

Company values
- We are DARING : We boldly go - we're strong in our vision and bold in our statements. We're changing an industry, and with that will come frustrations and difficult conversations, but we have absolute conviction in our mission.
- We are NIMBLE : We hold onto things lightly - processes, habits, structures. As we grow, we must adapt, so we will never cling to something that no longer works because that's how it's always been done. We keep our eyes and ears open - embracing the changing landscape around us and seeking out new tools and ways of working.
- We are MISSION-DRIVEN : We seek impact - acknowledging how far we've come and demonstrating the real-world implications will help us drive our mission forward. We do the right thing, both externally and internally - making decisions based on our desire to create real change in the world. We make informed choices around sustainability, diversity and equality. We will never stop asking 'are we doing enough'?
- We are EMPOWERED : We trust people to deliver - by giving people challenging work and the autonomy to make their own decisions, we lift people up and encourage them to be bold in their ambitions. Red tape and micromanagement are not welcome here. We build together - we don't shut down feedback no matter how difficult, and we don't only listen to the 'experts'. Autonomy is critical, but everyone has a voice and a right to be heard
- We are SUPPORTIVE: We value team well-being and strive to build a safe, healthy environment where people can bring their whole selves to work.
