PROJECTS X F&F: Making a profit on your journey to purpose
Connect with like-minded founders for an interactive evening filled with engaging conversations, inspirational talks and a fantastic networking opportunity.
We created this series after seeing too many amazing, purpose-driven founders build for impact while their profits took a back seat. We believe wealth and power must be redistributed for a world worth living in - so let's make it happen, together.
Many founders feel torn between their values and their financial goals. In this session, we’ll dismantle the misconception that profit and purpose are mutually exclusive. Through a dynamic panel discussion with seasoned founders and an interactive workshop, you’ll uncover your “why” and learn how to translate it into a profitable, purpose-driven strategy.
