- Description
- Episode Description
- Archel Bernard moved from Atlanta, Georgia to Monrovia, Liberia to start a fashion company that employs women who survived Ebola, are rape survivors or deaf. Her company is called The Bombchel Factory, and to top it all off, the product is, as she puts it, "dope." And, more entrepreneurs are starting businesses with a social purpose--addressing poverty or mitigating climate change. A growing number of investors are supporting this shift in thinking--looking not just at returns but at impact--and putting their money on companies that align with their values. I talk with Lindsay Smalling and Rosa Lee Harden, organizers of SOCAP--The Social Capital Markets Network conference.
