Generosity and impact were everywhere at SOUTHSTART this year, and the Pledge 1% team felt deeply welcomed into a community that truly wants to build “companies for good” from day one. 💛
Antonia Ruffell led a practical workshop on “Building social impact into your startup from day one” and hosted a panel on “Why being a good company is good for business”, alongside leaders from Atlassian, Canva and We Are Mobilise, with founders keen to turn intent into action.
For the Pledge 1% community, SOUTHSTART reinforced that more and more founders are keen to have a positive impact on the world from day one, and are looking for simple frameworks and peers to learn from as they grow. 🌱
