We are all investors. Whether it concerns our time, our focus or our money, we choose where we want to put it. When you invest, the first question always asked is ‘What is the rate of return?’ What if the question was ‘What does the most good?’ In this episode, Swati Mylavarapu introduces us to her values-based venture capital fund and discusses the significance of humanising the workplace beyond an aim for profit and technological advancement. Swati is co-founder of Incite.org, a brilliant strategist and a forceful good in the world.
Swati reads two pages from ‘Ghost Work: How to Stop Silicon Valley from Building a New Global Underclass’ by Mary L. Gray and Siddharth Suri. [reading begins at 16:20]
