How do you drive your business: with purpose or profit?

"We consider ourselves as purpose founders with the will to change a current problem, based on well-elaborated approaches." says Sebastian.

"At ECOFARIO, we never went for quick success or money maximization. All our decisions so far have been well over thought in order to sustainably successfully position our company and technology. For this reason, ECOFARIO is still 100% founder-owned, because we did not want to make it a cash cow, but rather create sustainable impact."

"We think financial health and investments are the biggest challenge for many companies nowadays. Entrepreneurs are expected to maximize profits as quickly as possible. This does not go along with a sustainable business models, which are generally slower-growing while having possible risks better taken into account. This is unfortunately also the reason why sustainable business models are less attractive to investors, which is making it harder to acquire money on the market, even with impact investors, until the business model has proven its validity."
