A visionary from Vancouver, Keith Ippel recognizes the new age of the Canadian business landscape.  “The notion of a non-profit is a byproduct of a bygone era. When people did capitalism with no moral compass. And that era is gone. Especially with millennials as a purpose generation, and we see it manifested in Whole Foods, Tesla, Volvo… We’re in this place now where making the world a better place is just going to be the norm.”  Keith Ippel is a serial entrepreneur most notable as the Co-Founder and CEO of Spring Activator, a Vancouver-based accelerator and incubator. Keith is an entrepreneur driven by purpose who has raised over 20 million dollars in angel and VC funding. When he isn’t changing the lives of entrepreneurs at Spring, Keith advises at Hootsuite, Brightkit, and Momentum, just to name a few.   In this week’s #StartupPodcast, host Rivers Corbett talks to Keith about his strategy to raise nearly $2 million in funding and important lessons he’s learned during his 15 years in business.
