When you think 7,8,9 years ago; before the
ago of unicorns startups was still a very
exotic world. And I remember talking with
some of my clients and I was telling them:
"why don't you go and work with startups"
and they were telling me "Julien we are a
25 million euro company and those guys they
work out of a garage and they wear blue jeans."
There is no way we can work with them. So
there has been a shift of mindset. So the
big question I want to ask you is 'Is it possible
that working with social entrepreneurs will
be just as obvious and necessary 5years from
now as it has become to work with startups
today. We will see this shift of mindset in
the coming years. This is the bet we are making.
We believe social entrepreneur is the new
startup. We believe it is going to be the
norm to engage with social entrepreneurs when
you are a big company. And when you think
about it it makes a lot of sense because all
the advantages we saw of engaging with startups
make a lot of sense when you engage with social
entrepreneurs as well.
