How to engage investors, and aligning business goals with social values

Linda Klunder is co-founder of Kumasi Drinks - a delicious tropical cocoa fruit juice made from the flesh surrounding a cocoa bean. Previously the outside of the cocoa bean was never used. It was just thrown away. But Linda and the team at Kumasi took something that normally goes to waste and made it into a soft drink while also helping cocoa farmers earn a little extra income.

In this conversation we talk about:

-grant writing and securing funding
-the role of storytelling and team presentation in attracting investors
-identifying overlooked resources and transforming them into valuable products
-showcasing the team's capabilities to gain the trust and support of potential investors
-creatively addressing inefficiencies in industries, potentially uncovering new revenue streams
