Yindss :

Let’s do both - they’re both important

Indra K :

This is so insightful.

Victor | The Context Engineer :

This notion that every startup should align with VC interests is unnatural. What happened to building businesses to solve a problem for a profit?

d :

I don't understand why it can't be both. You can talk about purpose & profit.

Nina :

i cant save this hard enough!!!!

Zintle Ramano :

exactly we here to make MONEY

Lenna :

Lol.. I thought everybody knew this. Pitches are to tell investors how they'll make money.

Isa :

So real I love how blunt Emma is

Sofia Haq :

She’s absolutely right. Purpose is incredible but if you’re pitching to a VC it’s all about profitability.

𝓨i :

I get so annoyed when we come online and complain about not getting funding and use the emotional route 😭

sonam_says :

i love this! i think purpose (wanting to solve an important problem) can get you through the early stages in the business prior to reaching profitability (if the business isn’t profitable off the bat)

Sola. Fertility & Flow ✨ | Ann :

It is true and we can and must do better. Profit and purpose will need to collide with strong business cases

Lara | Lifestyle Architect :

Love that Emma calls this out. All so true✨

Waraba🇨🇦 :

she's right about that, I see it on dragons den or shark tank

Naomi Kinan :

That’s trueeee, thank you!

Mia | Business | Life :

This is so true - balancing the narrative or purpose in pitching with showing the numbers, profitability and pathway to success in the market is key 👏

amanda | beauty founder :

Lead with profitability and let the purpose and the impact get weaved in where it’s there but not in your face

Whitney Gnaj :

Kandake :
