Tools & Technology
Technology serves a number of different purposes within a Founder Office. At the very minimum, it facilitates communication, collaboration and automates processes. Used more widely, it can give businesses such as Founder Offices the firepower and competitive edge they need to maximise their impact.
Tech adoption is something which varies hugely depending on the culture of the Founder Office, and can be heavily divisive. Many entrepreneurs have built their successes around technology and expect tech to amplify their Founder Offices. Some are less focused on optimising through technology.

Power-up
Regardless of your approach to technology, cybersecurity is key. Most founders guard their personal privacy fiercely, and they are increasingly becoming targets for cyber threats. Technology needs to protect as much as it needs to enable, and keeping technology updated and under review is an essential part of building a successful Founder Office.
