โœ”๏ธAt Sustainable Network we think itโ€™s time to change a system where most of us are destined to fail.

What do you think is the main reason so many founders fail?

1. Lack of preparation by founder?
2. Insufficient VC support?
3. Inability to raise capital?
4. Other

โœ”๏ธThe theme for 2022 is: โ€œStrengthening Environmental Health Systems for the Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goalsโ€.

โš•๏ธEnvironmental Health plays a pivotal role in the implementation of these SDGs, it fits into 7 SDGs, 19 targets and 30 indicators of the SDGs.

๐ŸŒ โ€œSaving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growthโ€ฆthese are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and womenโ€™s empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for allโ€. - UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

๐ŸŒก๏ธAt Sustainable Network, we are behind each and every one of the SDG targets, we work with investors and founders to find ways to address climate change and find sustainable solutions

How do VCs really feel about funding more sustainable startups?

โ“During a time of economic uncertainty and inflation, with factors like the war in Ukraine spooking the markets, do VCs still value sustainability?

๐Ÿ“ˆIn Europe, investment surpassed $8bn last year, and according to Dealroom itโ€™s the continentโ€™s fastest-growing startup vertical.

โœ”๏ธAmazon Launchpad conducted quantitative research with over 600 European VC and early-stage investors to understand the role ESG plays when making investment decisions.

๐Ÿ‘ŽThe survey found that 59% of those investors have declined an investment opportunity in the past 12 months due to sustainability concerns.

โœ”๏ธSynthesis Capital is a London-based VC firm focused on foodtech companies solving global food systems challenges. It only invests in companies they consider sustainable startups.

โœ”๏ธOTB Ventures, a deeptech fund investing in European startups, makes only four to six deals. Their investors are increasingly wanting to do good while also making money.

โœ”๏ธLondon-based investment firm Hambro Perks says itโ€™s important their investments do not damage the planet.

โœ”๏ธWhen it comes to calculating the impact of startups, tools like the Amazon Launchpad Sustainability Accelerator, can help both companies and investors.

https://hubs.la/Q01kW3Pv0

We asked VCs how sustainability goals are impacting their investment decisions, and why ESG principles can make for stronger businesses.
