Our guest this episode is Cindy Gallop, founder and CEO of MakeLoveNotPorn! (Be sure to check out her 2009 TED Talk.) We talk about integrating social responsibility into the foundations of a business instead of writing checks to clear your conscience, the inherent biases and contradictions of venture capital, and the difficulties in fundraising when you're over, say, 30 years old.
For this week's news item we talk about The Moonshot Report, a recent publication on entrepreneurship and the American dream by the Kauffman Foundation and others. They call out zebra companies by name and our hosts Mara Zepeda (Switchboard) and Astrid Scholz (Sphaera) have some responses to their criticism!
