At Slush, they believe that entrepreneurship is the most efficient way to change the world at scale. Right now, perhaps more than ever, we face pressing problems to solve.
Their decade-long goals are derived from Entrepreneurship Redefined, a whitepaper we wrote in 2020. In it, we explore three important axes of change on which the entrepreneurial ecosystem should focus.
Firstly, we need companies to be built by a diverse set of individuals. After all, people solve problems they themselves face.
Secondly, we need those companies to take extraordinary risks that, if successful, change the future beyond recognition.
Thirdly, we need them to pursue the most pressing problems of our time. For that, we need the society at large – investors, LPs, academia, corporates, and regulators – on board.
The change doesn’t happen overnight, nor is it something we can just focus on during one event, tick a box, and consider it done. That’s why we’ve dedicated the 2020s to really working on it.
