In this episode of Products With Purpose, Eli spoke with May Al-Karooni CEO and Founder of Globechain
Globechain is the largest ESG reuse marketplace that connects enterprises to nonprofits and SMEs to reuse unneeded items and assets in retail and construction. They generate valuable ESG data on the impact, which makes it all possible.
May’s passion is to prove that a business with its foundation structured on the principle of being commercial with a conscience can grow to become a global company, generating revenue, doing good, and offering infinite possibilities to those who use it.
She also has previously worked within the investment banking and asset management industry, fundraising monies for venture capital, property, and hedge funds for the last 10 years totaling over £120 million in funds raised.
Some of the highlights from this episode:
- Why ESG data is a powerful metric for companies to differentiate themselves and save money
- How we can bootstrap our way to success and take risks as entrepreneurs to secure funding
- How circular economies work and how we can create and support them
- The challenges of growing a network for a nonprofit
Make sure to stay until the end to hear May’s book recommendation and something forward-looking that she’s optimistic about right now!
