With all the global challenges ahead of us, we need companies that focus on creating positive impact, rather than striving for profit maximization. But how to generate impact in our current system of growth? Where financial numbers and return on investment is what stakeholders look at?

More and more startups are driven by impact.
Who are these startups?
How can you combine your focus on tech with a focus on social, ecological and human capital? 
What needs to change for impact startups to thrive?
Are these impact startups the underdogs or the new leaders of the future?
