Episode #2 – I believe in Zebras
In this episode of #Startup #News for ntvNachrichten I share with you, why a herd of Zebras is the best way to create sustainable ecosystems.
From my point-of-view, we should all focus on startups with purpose, so-called Zebras. Zebras are a new type of startups, which are really different from unicorns. They are black and white. On the one hand, they are economically successful, on the other, they improve our society. They create a win-win-situations with their value-driven founders. We, the Campus Founders, support the zebra movement and impact-driven founders in Europe.
We also believe that Zebras are more compatible with traditional german companies. With their value-driven and sustainable approach, Zebras can better fit with the german Mittelstand than unicorns.
