Description
Making a business profitable is difficult enough, having impact even harder. GoSol’s co-founders share their history of building and rebuilding a business model that puts impact first.
We’ll discuss challenges and strategies for finding an impact maximizing mission, developing impact-oriented technology and products, building the right team and why raising impact finance is important.
We’ll also share from our personal experience of staying motivated and persistent in face of the ever growing challenge of climate change and poverty and hope to motivate others to do the same.
