This is for entrepreneurs putting purpose over profit.

How to Help a Few Billion People kicks off with host Mark Horoszowski explaining why most entrepreneurial advice pushes founders onto a “grow-at-all-costs” conveyor belt, and what it looks like to build world-positive companies instead: choosing financing that preserves mission, managing negative externalities, and prioritizing employee wellbeing without abandoning growth. We talk alternatives to traditional VC (grants, fiscal sponsors, PRI, debt, revenue-based financing), the role of systems and incentives, and the kinds of founders we’ll feature—leaders who would rather help billions of people than make billions of dollars. If you’re a social entrepreneur, an impact-curious builder, or an investor seeking better-aligned returns, this is your roadmap (and your pep talk).
