Creating a startup is always challenging. Founding one during a tech downturn, cost of living crisis and recession seems near impossible. However, with risk comes reward and many of the world’s most successful companies were founded during times of economic uncertainty. As part of a series with Antler, Maddyness has interviewed founders hoping to become the entrepreneurial success stories to emerge from this time of crisis. This week, Maddyness spoke to Nick Greenhalgh, cofounder of Luca.

Ever since the rise of remote working brought about at the start of the pandemic, the debate around whether office or home is best has been fierce. Some senior business leaders, including the director general of the Confederation of British Industry, have dismissed remote-first roles as the world of work “gone crazy”. Citing worries about employee productivity, many have called for a national full-time return to the office. But they should be careful what they wish for.

The UK’s care sector has entered a new period of difficulty. Care providers have been trying to serve a growing population and financial support struggles to match it. The pandemic exacted a heavy toll on the country’s fiscal reserves and now the government must find ways to refill them, often through budget cuts and bill cap delays. At the same time, the workforce is shrinking for the first time in 10 years, which is raising the cost for companies to provide the same standard of care.
