This week, we’re joined by Tina Dreimann (thank you, Tim Schumacher, for the introduction), founder and General Partner of better ventures. Instead of following a traditional VC model, better ventures operates as a community of entrepreneurs investing in and supporting the next generation of impact-driven founders.
In this episode, we explore:
Why community investing could outperform traditional VC
The formula: Community + Tech = Impact + Returns
The biggest challenges for impact entrepreneurs today
Why climate is just one piece - biodiversity, water, and soil are just as urgent
How tech and AI help scale early-stage investing
…and much more!
