Start Providing Comprehensive Solution for Impact Startup
Background and Purpose
For companies, purpose-driven and sustainable management has unquestionably become a top agenda. Particularly in startups, while factors such as sustainability (ESG) considerations, including governance, are naturally taken into account, the evaluation is relatively more focused on future growth prospects. It can be said that, in a relative sense, impact (growth potential) is overwhelmingly more important than ESG (sustainability).
On the other hand, startups require intense focus on their business. Despite the importance, CEOs, even with strong dedication, may struggle to find time. Hiring individuals with impactful management skills is also tough due to cost and time constraints.
