They have 10K members, they recently raised a seed round of close to $1M.
But what were the choices, the frameworks and the breakthroughs that have led to these outcomes?
We took a deep dive into the VC / Entrepreneur relationship to unpack how it works, what should you do as an investor/entrepreneur starting out.

#4 - Profit & Purpose in: startups, angel investments and in life - with Diana Krieger
The traditional fund-raising path -> fast track and transactional: Founder: "I need money to grow fast" VC: "I have to find unicorns so I can have great ROI" The slow meaningful way -> collaboration: "Let's build a relationship first... Check if we share the same values, if we are passionate to work together... See where we can help each other grow as people (& business).. And learn how big and relevant is the problem"
Join our talk to learn how purpose-driven investors and founders are changing the world and our culture:
How meaning, mission, and relationships are the main drivers to build the companies of the future? Why do investors need to be founders first? How to raise money if you're a mission-driven startup?

______ BlackRock - Larry Fink CEO & Chairman - Annual letter to CEOs 2018: "We also see many governments failing to prepare for the future, on issues ranging from retirement and infrastructure to automation and worker retraining. As a result, society increasingly is turning to the private sector and asking that companies respond to broader societal challenges. Indeed, the public expectations of your company have never been greater. Society is demanding that companies, both public and private, serve a social purpose. To prosper over time, every company must not only deliver financial performance but also show how it makes a positive contribution to society. Companies must benefit all of their stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, customers, and the communities in which they operate" _________ Visit our Investor page for more stories from the future
#1 The problems that translate into trillion dollar business with Elad&Amir&Sharon
First things first - the biggest problem in the world today is the climate crisis. 30 years ago there was almost zero awareness of that, but now the impact of this crisis is dictating how we live our lives... What's also interesting is that in the last 10 years, there is a direct correlation between tackling this issue and building a mega-successful company! Looking at Tesla, Oatly and Blackstone - a pattern emerges. So we must stop & ask what the future really holds for building a super successful business.
