Building a purpose-driven business isn't for the faint of heart. In this episode, Christian Kroll, founder of Ecosia, provides a candid account of the challenges he faced in transforming his company into a steward-owned entity. We'll hear about the unexpected legal hurdles he encountered in Germany, the complexities of finding a structure that balanced impact with operational flexibility, and the surprising moment when an early investor, Tim, honored a verbal agreement despite the potential for a massive windfall. Christian's story reveals the real-world complexities of prioritizing purpose over profit and offers valuable insights for any entrepreneur seeking to build a company that's truly committed to social and environmental good.
