Amazing book. Didn’t know what I would get out of it when I won it from a free giveaway but I’m glad I read it.

So useful to have all these perspectives in one place. The range and depth across all parts of the ecosystem and plenty of different kinds of entrepreneurs too. As we face the climate emergency, and have a world to-do list in the SDGs this book will be useful to the everyday practitioner working in grassroots as well as the student and researcher. Scale is essential for impact and investors can have a vital role in the acceleration necessary to help transform our common future. I am recommending
