As part of the Founder Institute’s series of free online startup events for entrepreneurs practicing social distancing, we were pleased to welcome Steve DeAngelo for a fireside chat on Wednesday, October 21st, on the topic of Designing Business to Create Change in the World.
Businesses that are able to leverage consumer needs for good can be a wonderful catalyst to affect real societal change. However, designing a business for change is something that needs to start in the very earliest steps of a company, which is why it is so important for new startups to begin with impact and a purpose-first ethos.
Watch to gain insights from activist and visionary Steve DeAngelo, Founder of the Last Prisoner Project and who is known as "The Father of the Legal Cannabis Industry."
