Welcome to The Zenergy Podcast! Host Karan Takhar has the pleasure of speaking with Sophie Bakalar, Partner at Collaborative Fund, for a conversation about investing in companies that ‘do good’ and are ‘doing well economically.’ They discuss what drew her to the intersection of sustainability and venture capital, how she met her partner, Craig, and what consumer trends made an impression on them both. Sophie shares how Collaborative Fund chooses which companies to invest in, what she believes a successful pitch looks like, and how they use “The Villian Test” for analyzing investments. Sophie gives advice to entrepreneurs about navigating the uncertainty in the world today, and then gives advice to her younger self. Thanks so much for tuning in!
