“You’re always selling.”
That’s one lesson Start Some Good cofounder Alex Budak says he learned from GoodCompany Ventures‘ summer social entrepreneurship accelerator.
On the Start Some Good blog, he writes:
You’re always selling. It’s easy to feel a step or two removed from traditional business when you’re simultaneously focusing on your social impact — but remember you are never not selling. Especially if you are the founder of your organization, every interaction you have is selling your venture in some way — whether it’s to a potential investor, a potential customer, a potential partner, or even a potential supporter.
Based in Washington, D.C., fundraising platform Start Some Good will demo on GoodCompany’s Investor Day Nov. 20 at First Round Capital in University City.
