With our wonderful #DOBRAtalks guests discussed #impact - our shared passion, motivation, driver and domain space. It’s no longer a question “impact vs profit”. Social impact actually drives profit, customer engagement and loyalty. Purpose-driven startups have sustainable business models, of course, in case they find the right ones)) However, the latter is also true for any other startup. From the investment perspective, journey is different (horizons, etc.) but no less rewarding. From my personal perspective, just as a startup has to be investment-ready to raise funds, an investor has to be impact-ready, e.g., mature enough to choose impact investing to boost the societal change. Just the other league. Thanks for being with us! And keep building ventures that matter! #WeAreTheWorld

Impact is a word that has a lot of ... emptiness. A huge number of people and startups use it out of place. Sometimes to make themselves look more favorable or to attract non-equity investments and grants. Sometimes to cover up their failures in financial terms. Sometimes to make it look like their only achievements - as if money doesn't matter to them at all and by some miracle they can do a lot of things useful to the world without it. For me personally, this is a native topic - a huge part of my life is devoted to how to remove the contradiction between the financial interest of investments and really meaningful deeds, how to supply people and projects with these investments in time, how not to lose all the value along the way. Creating impact startups, investing in them (in time) and non-competitive collaborations along the way is one of the best ways to do this: when value is sewn into a product - more value, more money. Lots of interesting thoughts in the podcast. Listen, enjoy, think about the future and how you will be involved in it.

"Every orbit has been very unique. You can feel the difference between what works in one orbit to the next." These words from Anand Deshpande, the visionary behind Persistent Systems, encapsulate the dynamic nature of scaling a business globally. In this insightful episode on "Winning Beyond Boundaries," Anand delves deep into the concept of business 'orbits' - distinct phases of growth that require different strategies and approaches. This perspective offers a fresh take on the challenges and opportunities of global expansion. Key takeaways from Anand's 'orbit' theory: - Each growth phase (or 'orbit') has its own unique characteristics - Strategies that work in one phase may not be effective in the next - Leadership must evolve along with the company - Recognizing the shift between 'orbits' is crucial for continued success
