Can a Greenpeace activist run a profitable business? Can they do it ethically? In 1988, when the Sega Genesis was considered cutting-edge technology, and hardly anybody (outside of Exxon) had even heard of climate change, Jeffrey Hollender decided to try. He cofounded Seventh Generation, a company dedicated to sustainable consumer goods and, through a long and challenging journey, grew it to an annual revenue of $200 million.
Seventh Generation are also our Burlington neighbors :vermont:their headquarters is 4 blocks from Hack Club HQ. Jeffrey Hollender will be visiting our office for an AMA at 12:15 PM EDT this Monday, June 29.
Join us to talk ask Jeffrey about how to start a business in unprofitable industries, and how to stay ethical in a world obsessed with growth at any cost.
