Sum and Substance, a series of videos and events focused on creating purpose at work, featured Satori Capital in a new video titled, “Is This the Future of Investing?” The video features Satori’s co-founder, Sunny Vanderbeck, telling the story of Satori’s founding and its purpose: To create, fund, and inspire businesses that elevate humanity.
“When you go talk to the professional investors, their first question and their biggest objection is, ‘But when will we sell the company?’” Sunny states in the video. “And our point is, that’s actually the wrong question to ask. The right question is: ‘How do we create the most value for the most people?’ Turns out, if you do that, the economic pieces work out.”
The Sum and Substance series shares stories of people who have created meaning in their jobs and companies that are founded on a purpose beyond profit. Other companies featured in the series include Driversselect, Biggby Coffee, Plum Organics, and Interface Carpet.
Thrive Consulting, which created the Satori video and others in the series, also featured Sunny in an article about important questions to ask a potential buyer of your business to ensure a conscious outcome. The six questions, and Sunny’s advice about what to consider in the answers, can be read here.
Selling your business? Raising capital? You need to ask questions. Specifically these.
