This week I am talking to the incredible Brooke from Sharesies, a platform that is changing the investment game.
I first met the sharesies crew in 2017 in my very first angel investment pitch and I was blown away by how lovely they all were, and what a good (and simple) idea Sharesies was.
Their mission is all about creating financial empowerment for everybody and Brooke has done this as one of six co-leaders which is unusual, but super effective.
In this episode Brooke shares:
- How Sharesies started
- How they worked to bring on share holders who share a similar vision to them
- How they get their core info across to the consumer without being overwhelming
- The conversation she and the founders had about setting up the vibe and culture at their company
- The importance of sharing your idea
- How to use the B Corp certification to find the weaknesses in your business
- Her number one tip to someone starting a mission driven business
