Looking ahead into 2024

Small Great Ventures is poised for an exciting journey in 2024. We continue down our path of building companies prioritizing humanity's and the planet's needs. This paradigm shift defines our approach as we champion a profit-serves-purpose business model, fostering a new era of business with impact at its core.

We are building towards a future where impact isn't an afterthought but an integral part of business operations. Our mission is deeply rooted in recognizing humanity's existential threats and challenging inherited systems pushing us toward catastrophe. We subscribe to Einstein’s wisdom that “in the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity”. Small Great Ventures is on a quest to unearth non-obvious solutions vital for unlocking systemic changes necessary for humanity to thrive on our planet. (NBD!)

In collaboration with impact founders, we are dedicated to reducing polarized politics, addressing the mental health crisis, providing pathways to financial inclusion and stability, and contributing to the healing of our planet through emissions reduction.

In 2024, our focus will be multi-fold:

Building Strong Foundations for New Futures

At Small Great Ventures, we understand that the success of any venture lies in its foundation. We will spend the year building, testing, and refining robust frameworks to serve as integral infrastructure to build stable launch pads for groundbreaking products and ideas. We are creating product validation frameworks, go-to-market playbooks, hiring best practices, and more. We're not just about creating new ventures but about creating legacies. Our team is committed to laying the groundwork that supports immediate success and ensures sustained growth and impact.

Coaching Founders: Where Profit Serves Purpose

One of our key objectives is to coach founders on the art of marrying profit with purpose. It’s the place where we see purpose-led founders failing the most. We often meet founders prioritizing their mission without enough focus on getting to profitability. The prioritizing of purpose over profit leads to failing impact businesses. We want (and hope) to see financially thriving and profitable businesses serving a greater purpose. 

In a world where businesses are redefining success, we believe a venture's impact is just as crucial as its bottom line; impact is impossible to reach without ensuring the business mechanics are sound and scalable. Our dedicated team will guide founders in crafting business models that generate revenue and contribute meaningfully to society. After all, success is sweeter when it serves a purpose.

The Psychedelic Integration App: Navigating Consciousness

In an era where mental well-being takes center stage, we're excited to announce the development of our psychedelic integration app. This innovative tool aims to guide individuals through a transformative journey, combining modern technology with ancient wisdom. We’re committed to exploring uncharted territories and helping users navigate the depths of consciousness for personal growth and self-discovery.

Rethinking Data Ownership: A New Approach

Data is the new gold, but who owns it? We’re trailblazing a new approach to data ownership and how data can catalyze deeper social impact. We’re excited to reveal more about what we are building in the coming months. Be sure to sign up for our emails to get the announcement. 

Here's to a year of groundbreaking ventures, purpose-driven success, and a future where small is truly great.
