What We Learned: A Conversation Between Gen Z Entrepreneurs and Next Gen Impact Investors
On May 5, 2021, GoodCarts CEO Steven Clift had the pleasure of moderating a discussion between Gen Z entrepreneurs and next generation impact investors. From origin stories and overcoming challenges to the future of the impact economy, we covered a lot of ground.
The event was presented in partnership with the American Sustainable Business Network. Not only was there a lively discussion among event attendees, there were substantial and valuable resources generated.
We want to share that wealth with everyone! Check out the article about the event for a breakdown of what we learned. You can even watch the full video of this amazing event.
We’ve put together this great collection of resources for Gen Z ecommerce entrepreneurs and impact investors generated during the event. See the links below!
