In this talk, Dr. Melanie Rieback, Co-founder of Radically Open Security and Nonprofit Ventures explores 'Post Growth Entrepreneurship,' a new way to build sustainable, mission-driven businesses that put impact before profit.
Our relentless pursuit of growth fuels climate change, human rights violations, biodiversity loss, and staggering waste. The COVID-19 crisis exposed the deep disconnect between investors and the real economy. Now is the time to rethink business and create a new “normal.”
Dr. Melanie Rieback will challenge everything you think you know about entrepreneurship, share practical tools for doing things differently, and offer you a choice: the blue pill or the red pill. Will you go back to business as usual?
