We are a global community of impact founders and investors, connected to create a sustainable, healthy & equitable world. Spring is for you if you’re passionate about creating positive change through business and seeking opportunities to turn that passion into action. We support a diverse range of founders at all stages of scaling their impactful solutions and the impact investors seeking compelling deal flow that makes a difference. The Spring Community brings together impact founders, investors, partners and collaborators in a refreshingly real way - no ego, masking or posturing needed.

We are dedicated to creating inclusive + equitable opportunities for founders and investors who have been systemically excluded for way too long. This includes actively learning, unlearning, listening and iterating to create spaces of belonging where everyone who is Indigenous, Black or a Person of Colour, 2SLGBTQAI+, disabled, neurodivergent, newcomer or immigrant feels safe, heard and served.

Umay is technology that was built to help you rest. The reason we do this is because were spending the majority of our waking hours in front of screens and its affecting our sleep, mental health and our eyes. Our origins are rooted in solving at-home compliance for digital eye strain; the itchy dry eyes thats become our generations new normal. Which evolved into gentle thermal vibrations that help the mind and body respond to stress, relax and sleep better. By combining thermal therapy and the neuroscience of frequency & vibration, Umay resets the effects of screen time with Thermal Meditation to help you unwind, get to sleep and relax strained eyes.
