“Without Paul and Kisa we wouldn’t be where we are today. They were present when Shop Like You Give a Damn was just a concept and years later they are still our biggest supporters.
Over the years, Paul and Kisa have assisted us in many different ways. They helped us refine our business model, were one of our first customers (still are), and helped develop and implement growth plans, They used their network to help us find investors and were available for us day and night.
This duo is strategically strong, Once they bite into a target, they don’t let go. At Ensley Van den Berg it is about setting goals and achieving them. And they do it with great pleasure and passion.
Finally, I would like to emphasize what wonderful people Paul and Kisa are. They are warm, funny and sincere. They listen well and are particularly good sparring partners. You feel right at home with them. They know how to get the most out of you and your business.
If you are looking for a marketing & sales powerhouse, be sure to talk to Paul and Kisa. With Ensley Van den Berg in your corner, it’s easier to achieve your goals”.
Ethical shopping for those who give a damn.
We give a damn about the world and invite you to do the same. Shop with compassion, don’t buy more than you need and always vegan, fair and as sustainable as possible.
Shop Like You Give a Damn is on a mission to make compassion and sustainability the new normal. That’s why they founded this 100% vegan, fair and sustainable marketplace with a heart for inclusivity and social entrepreneurship. These five values are at the foundation of every decision, project and partnership they undertake.
Founder Stephan and Paul go way back. The twenty-year age difference is not an issue at all – it’s a sound basis to talk about business together.
So, when Stephan presented his plans for a vegan, ethical online department store in a bar in Amsterdam to Paul, sparks were ignited.
Ensley Van den Berg is one of the initial angel investors and has been actively helping the organization. From input on pitch-decks, and plans for custom publishing to facilitating meetings for the team.
Nowadays, Shop Like You Give a Damn’s is the largest online vegan department store in Europe.
