I’m trying to figure something out, but I need your help.
How might we help non-experts to support and/or build truly sustainable businesses?
Hypothesis: A Business is Truly Sustainable If…
1. Their Value Proposition is Meaningful
Whatever they produce makes the world healthier & happier.
2. Their Growth has Boundary Conditions
They design & follow measurable limits to their growth & growth rates.
3. Their Stakes & Benefits are Connected
Anyone who is affected by their work also benefits in meaningful ways.
4. Their Value Exchange is Fair & Equitable
Their prices are enough to sustain them, without exploiting their customers.
Rationale
