Big change begins with local action. By taking purposeful steps in your community, you plant the seeds for a broader impact that can grow and resonate globally. Start small, scale your vision, and make your mark on the world—every action counts. Let's create global impact together.  . . . #GlobalImpact #ScaleWithPurpose #Startup #FirstStep #ImpactInvesting #Impact

It's interesting to see many new companies, backed by big capital, talk about making change and creating a #greeneconomy. They go all out to make the public believe it, but behind the scenes, their main concern is their public image. The real change makers are the #startups struggling for funding who genuinely want to make a difference. If you want to support real change and create true impact, consider focusing your attention on those dedicated #innovators.
