Do you know what impact tech business is? What is the significance of impact tech startups?
There is one entrepreneurial territory where business strategies meet the desire of entrepreneurs to support societal development.
The bridge between them is #ICT - artificial intelligence, big data analytics, blockchain, and all other tech tools that give us new approaches to societal problems such as climate change, biodiversity loss, air pollution, famine, social exclusion, gender equality challenges.
For a long period of time, impact tech projects have been perceived as only not-for-profit activities. However, the boom of startup projects with societal causes in recent years has proven that developing impact projects can also be a business, and pursuing business strategies is not in contradiction with supporting the positive development of our communities. The pandemic has shown us the significance of these projects and how important it is to support their development and scaling.
The new season of SHEleader in a SHEll starts with Sasha Lipman, co-founder of the global startup network tech2impact, which helps impact tech business projects with mentorship and various initiatives for scaling and internalization.
“There’s a misconception in the tech ecosystem about “impact”. So let’s clear up outdated prejudices about what it means to be an impact tech startup from the get-go. Startups and businesses can (and should) do both: address societal issues and generate profit and scale,” says Sasha Lipman.
