Impact Entrepreneurship - Towards a more sustainable future

Impact Entrepreneurship

The latest trends and insights on impact entrepreneurship and investing.

Hello there,

Last month, we focused on sustainability and we were thrilled to see that big corporates are on the hunt for innovative startups to decrease plastic use and make their products and services more sustainable. It was also incredible to meet 35 female founders that are successfully contributing towards a more sustainable future.

We would like to thank you for being part of this community. The fast growth of this mailing list is a strong evidence that awareness towards impact is growing too.

If you have any articles you believe should make it to the next digest, please send them our way!

Love,

Yonca & Cristina
